Project background
The Energy Systems Catapult (ESC), together with partners in India, including the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), has created the Innovating for Transport and Energy Systems (ITES) initiative.
ITES is a bilateral collaboration to address key challenges around the decarbonisation of transport by carrying out joint research into specific sustainable transport issues and enabling the piloting, support and scale up of new sustainable solutions. It:
• engages with and supports Indian industry in developing solutions for hard to decarbonise parts of the transport system collaboratively or linking them to UK innovators
• considers the whole systems aspects around transport challenges, from consumer acceptance to supporting infrastructure and impact on the energy generation system
• looks to link leading Indian and UK research organisations, builds on success of the Innovating for Clean Air (IfCA) programme and provides a springboard for UK start-ups to trial their solutions in a low-risk environment
• offers UK innovators access to technical skills and expertise to support them bringing their products to the Indian market, as well as potentially Indian facilities, in the longer-term
• looks to attract public, private and third sector partners and sponsors to ensure activities are market-led and solving practical problems and to decrease the need for UK government funding in the long-term
• provides a long-term, established base for UK - India partnerships and programmes in the Net Zero space, with the potential to expand to other sectors over time
• offers a "soft-landing" for UK innovators interested in the Indian market, and vice versa, linking them to opportunities, collaborators and potential investment
• offers links to conduct knowledge exchange between UK and Indian organisations
Scope of service
ESC is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide stakeholder engagement services to the ITES with the goal of securing sponsorship for ITES. The supplier should have a track record of:
• Developing strategies for and engaging with private sector organisations in the UK
• Raising funding via direct engagement in UK
• Established relationships with investors, corporates, etc.
• Developing and delivering compelling value propositions
