ITES Impact Report Year 2 (2023/24)

Energy Systems Catapult, along with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), has developed the Innovating for Transport and Energy Systems (ITES) initiative. ITES will focus on enabling sustainable transport systems by carrying out joint applied research into clean transport challenges, and enable the demonstration, support and scaleup of new sustainable solutions. ITES will take a whole systems approach to challenges, considering all aspects – from consumer acceptance to business models, policy to supporting infrastructure.

ITES is funded by Innovate UK (IUK) and the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and is itself part of a wider initiative called the UK-India Net Zero Innovation Virtual Centre (the Centre). The Centre aims to form a unique coalition of UK and Indian innovation policymakers, R&D companies, start-ups, hubs and places, investors and research groups.
