Bilateral with #German counterpart Bettina Stark-Watzinger, Minister for Education and Research during Golden Jubilee celebration of Indo- German Science & Technology cooperation. Discussed ways to promote academic and technical exchange between the two countries.

🎉Grund zur Feier: 50 Jahre 🇩🇪-🇮🇳 Kooperation in Wissenschaft und Technologie (#WTZ). Heute würdigen wir dieses Jubiläum gemeinsam mit unserem Partnerministerium @IndiaDST. BM @starkwatzinger und ihr 🇮🇳Amtskollege @DrJitendraSingh leiten die Feierlichkeiten.

The Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India today hosted a delegation from the European Union comprising representatives from startups in the space of battery recycling technologies from EU Member States, officials from the @EU_in_India along with members from select Indian startups. Chaired by Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, Prof. @AjaySoodIISc , the interaction focused on the experiential learning gained by the startups through their immersion visits as an outcome of the Electric Vehicle (EV) battery recycling matchmaking event held on 20th June 2024, under the aegis of the India-EU Trade and Technology Council's Working Group 2 on Green & Clean Energy Technologies. Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood remarked on the importance of such partnerships for achieving environmental sustainability and economic resilience, stating, “This collaboration opens up new opportunities for technology transfer, market access, and co-development. It is essential for fostering economic resilience and sustainable development.” Dr. Parvinder Maini, Scientific Secretary at the Office of the PSA, also joined Prof. Sood to underscore the significance of the collaboration between India and the EU in clean and green energy technologies. Dr. Ewa Suwara, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to India, reinforced this sentiment by noting, “Recycling EV batteries is a geopolitical and climate imperative, as every ounce recovered enhances energy security and fuels green growth. I am delighted to see that through the support of the Trade and Technology Council, we are able to support the EU and Indian startups to join forces, pioneer innovation, foster business collaboration, and drive market uptake of cutting-edge technologies. This is a shining example of partnership in action, shaping a more sustainable tomorrow.” During the event, Indian startups, recognized as winners in the matchmaking event held on June 20, 2024, shared their experiences from the immersion trips in the EU (held in Sep 2024), providing valuable insights into their learnings and market opportunities. In parallel, EU startups currently in India for their immersion visits also shared their expectations and vision, contributing to a deeper understanding of cross-regional collaboration. The participating startups from India included @batxenergies_ , @recyclekaro , @LW3India. and @lohum while startups from EU included Ecomet Refining, and Eneris.
