INDIA and Germany can unlock significant opportunities in innovation, research and development (R&D), artificial intelligence (AI) and green hydrogen through deeper collaboration between businesses and startups, Jan Noether, Director-General, Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC), said.
Speaking to ANI on the sidelines of Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) Industry Dialogue 2026, Noether highlighted the growing engagement between the two countries across emerging technologies and clean energy.
He said the IGCC recently hosted a startup competition in Bengaluru that saw participation from around 90 startups, showcasing innovative products and ideas.
“… Two days ago we had a startup competition in Bangalore where we had 90 participants, and this competition was really spurred by wonderful, very innovative products…,” he said.
Apart from this, Noether highlighted that AI has emerged as a key area of interest in the German Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem. He said, “AI is a particular topic when it comes to the German GCC setup…,” stressing, “There is a cooperation very much geared towards research and development…”
Noether said greater collaboration between the two countries could result in highly competitive projects and innovations. “If the German-Indian partners come together and develop their ideas, the projects and the results of these projects are going to be unbeatable,” he said. — ANI
