NITI Aayog launches two initiatives to foster innovation
NITI Aayog under its flagship initiative Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) has launched the ‘AIM – ICDK Water Challenge 4.0’ and the fifth edition of ‘Innovations for You’ handbook, which are aimed at fostering innovation and sustainability in the country.
Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) is the Government of India’s flagship initiative to create and promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship across the length and breadth of country. AIM – ICDK Water Challenge 4.0 has been initiated in collaboration with the Innovation Centre Denmark (ICDK) at the Royal Danish Embassy in India. The aim of the initiative is to address critical water-related challenges through inventive solutions.
The selected teams will form the Indian cohort, which will participate in the global Next Generation Digital Action program and engage with young talents from leading universities and innovation hubs in 9 countries (India, Denmark, Ghana, Kenya, Korea, Tanzania, South Africa, Ghana, Colombia, and Mexico).
The focus of the program is to encourage the exploration of sustainability, digital solutions, inclusion, and universal design principles. The participants will have the opportunity to showcase innovations at the Digital Tech Summit scheduled in Copenhagen from October 30th to 31st, 2024 funded by the Government of Denmark.
