इस ग्रांट के बारे में
India's rapid urbanisation presents significant challenges across transport, waste management, and resource utilisation, contributing substantially to energy-related CO2 emissions and e-waste. Concurrently, India is driving a national shift towards cleaner mobility, circular resource use, and cleaner energy through ambitious policies like 30% EV adoption and 500 GW non-fossil power capacity by 2030, alongside Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) mandates and Circular Economy Action Plans. This landscape creates a crucial opportunity for innovative startups to develop solutions for a sustainable future.
The Climate Tech Incubator 2.0, a collaborative effort between Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) and Villgro, aims to catalyse this transformation. The program is designed to identify and support high-potential deeptech ventures that are addressing critical climate challenges in Indian cities. By fostering innovation in key areas, the incubator seeks to build a robust pipeline of early-stage climate tech companies ready to scale their impact.
The program focuses on four critical areas: Circular Economy & Sustainable Materials, Climate Intelligence & Energy Resilience, Road Safety & Human-Centric Mobility, and Electric & Low-Carbon Mobility. Through a structured 12-month incubation program, selected startups will receive catalytic grant funding, comprehensive mentorship, and opportunities for real-world pilot validation to accelerate their journey towards commercial adoption and significant climate impact.
