About UK Government

Across several innovation and R&D partnerships, the UK Government backs India's startup ecosystem. Innovate UK, which sits within UK Research and Innovation, co-funds collaborative projects with India's Department of Science and Technology, with awards reaching £5 million for industrial-sustainability R&D, while the UK-India Startup Launchpad fosters closer ties and two-way expansion between the countries' ecosystems.

Set within the India-UK Vision 2035, the wider partnership co-invests in early technology-driven enterprises in underfunded areas, with a lean toward climate, environment, and gender equality. Between them, UKRI and India have committed over £330 million, funding more than 250 projects and linking over 220 lead institutions on both sides.

Indian startups looking to expand into the UK or tap collaborative R&D with UK partners benefit most, particularly ventures in climate, clean energy, industrial sustainability, and health innovation at the validation and growth stages. It is online at gov.uk.
