Under the Steel Research Technology Mission of India (SRTMI), three new Research & Development (R&D) schemes and a web portal have been launched to promote innovation and sustainability in the steel industry.
These schemes – Challenge Method, Open Innovation Method, and Start-up Accelerator – have been designed to address industry challenges, support academic research, and develop new steel technologies.
The SteelCollab platform will act as a matchmaking hub, which will connect industry leaders, researchers, startups, and academia to drive decarbonisation, digitalisation, and advanced steel development.
