“Creating Smart Power Solutions: Catalysing UK-India collaborations to address India’s energy challenge” is a workshop organised by UK Energy Generation & Supply (EGS) KTN, the Electronics, Sensors & Photonics (ESP) KTN, the UK Technology Strategy Board (TSB), the UK Science & Innovation Network (UK-SIN), and AcceleratorIndia. The workshop, packaged as RiffStream#Delhi, will be held in Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi on January 31st 2013.
RiffStream#Delhi will be curated by Dr Uday Phadke, to explore new ways of facilitating collaboration across sectors, technologies and investors, with the aim of generating new projects and partnerships as the basis for delivering innovation to address India's energy challenge and the opportunities that it presents.
Building on previous successful RiffStream# events held in Cambridge, York, London and Mumbai, the Delhi workshop will also address the shared strategic vision of both the UK and Indian Governments of creating connections between smart power businesses across the two countries and also link to UK policy initiatives.
The workshop will use RiffStream#, a methodology developed by Dr Phadke to maximise the value of the networking and accelerate new business creation. The methodology is based upon a musical metaphor, to provide an interactive environment where players from different disciplines can interact to synthesize and test new ideas and relationships with other participants.
Over the course of the day, participants will hear kick-off keynote presentations and setting the scene about markets and trends, gain insights into the UK and Indian power sector and the experiences of UK and Indian businesses.
In the afternoon, themed, short presentations from participating companies will then be used to explore differences in the smart power ecosystems between the two countries and focus on networking with like-minded businesses to instigate commercial collaboration opportunities between the two countries.
The overall aim for the workshop is to generate new collaborations and projects by connecting UK and Indian businesses in a “smart power” market segment together – especially where collaboration is vital to presenting scale.
