The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has partnered with the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) to help innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship in India’s clean energy and manufacturing sectors.

GEAPP VP, India Saurabh Kumar described the MoU as a pivotal move to foster systemic change through collaboration between industry, government and innovators.  He said GEAPP’s global experience, combined with Startup India’s network and DPIIT’s institutional support, would unlock new opportunities for clean energy entrepreneurship.

The two-year partnership aims to support early-stage climate tech startups by providing access to funding and mentorship from industry experts, opportunities to pilot their technologies and connections to markets and customers.

As part of this initiative, DPIIT and GEAPP will launch Energy Transitions Innovation Challenge (ENTICE), a competitive platform offering up to USD 500,000 in rewards for high-impact clean energy solutions. 

DPIIT will integrate the programme with the Startup India network, ensuring wide outreach through key government schemes and maximising its impact on the broader startup ecosystem.
