Honda Innovation Challenge 2.0
Pays Indian startups up to 40 lakh rupees to co-build mobility and safety tech with Honda.
The application itself asks for a fairly complete startup profile beyond the pitch: current technology readiness level, the product's form factor (mobile app, web app, API/SDK, embedded software, firmware, hardware, sensor, cloud platform, or model/algorithm), company stage, whether any IP or patents have been filed, revenue and funding history, and how many paying customers or pilots the startup …
The challenge is for Indian founders building digital solutions that support two- and four-wheeler customers before, during and after every journey, across two focus areas: mobility solutions for women, and everyday mobility for all riders and drivers. It targets startups with a working product, not early concepts.
