SS
Samsung R&D Institute India (SRI-B and SRI-N)

Samsung Mobile Advance

Gives Indian mobile-tech startups up to $50,000 in zero-equity grant funding.

Startups email Samsung a single application -- a written proposal for a six-month proof-of-concept covering the idea's innovation, feasibility and expected impact -- rather than filling out a separate short-listing form first. Samsung's own expert panel reviews every submission, and shortlisted teams then pitch in person to a jury made up of Samsung R&D leadership on a dedicated Pitch Day. Startup

SMA looks for deep-tech startups building for Samsung's mobile ecosystem, across categories like AI, XR, security, health, camera, audio and wearables. It wants ideas with strong cultural and technological fit with Samsung's R&D teams that can integrate into Samsung's devices.
