The program enables mentoring in India and meeting with prospects and investors in the UK.

 
The Royal Academy of Engineering's Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) programme focuses on nurturing bold, scalable innovations from all areas of engineering and technology that are addressing some of the world’s most complex environmental, economic, and societal challenges. They identify and work with in-country partners to deliver the program within their geographic location. CIE-IIIT Hyderabad is The Royal Academy of Engineering’s partner for India.

The standout Indian startups selected for this program are Nariksha Pads, Pola, Quavilon, ASHA+, Hydroverse, SmartKosh, Revalu, and Precue. Through the LIF programs, these startups will receive comprehensive support, including training, mentoring, and access to an international network. The aim is to equip them with the tools to commercialise their technologies and thrive in the competitive UK market.
 

Selected innovators will advance impactful solutions addressing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) globally. The LIF program offers tailored support, including training, mentoring, and access to a diverse network of experts and resources. Supported by the UK's Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, these programs drive sustainable development through locally engineered solutions, impacting communities worldwide.
 

Funded by the UK Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology’s International Science Partnership Fund, and facilitated by The Royal Academy of Engineering, these programs are pivotal in fostering global innovation with a local impact.

"We are thrilled to join forces with the Royal Academy of Engineering in this transformative initiative," said Prof. Ramesh Loganathan, COO of CIE-IIIT Hyderabad.
