Freeport East has announced a strategic partnership with, Innovating for Transport and Energy Systems (ITES), to advance innovation in clean transport technologies and boost bilateral trade.
The collaboration with ITES – a programme led by UK energy innovation experts, Energy Systems Catapult with the Indian Institute of Science – aims to transform green transport solutions and attract significant private-sector investment.
Freeport East CEO Steve Beel and Andrew Stokes of Energy Systems Catapult signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) last week (Thursday 25 July) to create a collaboration that will help fast-track energy innovation in the transport sector.
Andrew Stokes, Business Lead – International at Energy Systems Catapult, stated: “ITES is empowering UK innovators to achieve transformative growth in India. Our partnership with Freeport East will set a precedent for collaboration that other publicly funded programmes and freeports can emulate.”
Steve Beel, CEO of Freeport East, remarked: “We are delighted to be working with the Energy Systems Catapult and the Indian Institute of Science as part of the ITES programme. India is one of the world’s most exciting markets for innovation and offers significant opportunities for UK businesses to export their products and services. This agreement will help us support UK and India objectives whilst building mutual growth and trade opportunities in green transport.”
