India and the UK have decided to create an India-UK “NET Zero” Innovation Virtual Centre which will provide a platform to bring stakeholders from both countries together to work in some of the focus areas including Decarbonization of manufacturing process & transport systems and Green Hydrogen as renewable source.

The two countries will also join hands for launching the first ever UK-India scientific ‘deep sea voyage (for carrying out scientific studies) and ‘space parks‘ (manufacturing hub for space-related technology) partnership.

India has been named as a partner for the UK’s International Science Partnerships Fund, carrying forward the UK-India science partnership built through the Newton-Bhabha fund.
