Global Innovation and Technology Alliance (GITA) is a not–for–profit Public Private Partnership (PPP) company jointly promoted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Technology Development Board (TDB), Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India (GoI).

We are pleased to share that the Request for proposals (RFP) under the India – Sweden Collaborative Industrial Research & Development Programme 2019 is underway. This Programme is an outcome of the visit of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Stockholm in April 2018 where India and Sweden signed a Joint Declaration on Innovation Partnership for a Sustainable Future. The objective of the Programme is to promote, facilitate and support co-development and commercialization of innovative technologies which can benefit both India and Sweden. This Programme is being implemented by GITA on behalf of DST in India, and Vinnova in Sweden.

Indian industry can avail funding up to INR 1.5 Cr per project for co-development of technologies with Sweden. The Government’s contribution would need to be match-funded by Industry. A similar quantum of funding support will be provided to the Swedish Industry counterpart by their Government.

The key elements of the programme are as follows :
