Hyderabad: T-Hub and Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (OKI) have partnered to launch a program designed to bring Indian startups to global markets, validate their technologies and explore commercial opportunities in Japan.
The program drew more than 150 applications from deep-tech startups across India. Following a multi-stage evaluation, eight startups have been shortlisted to work with OKI through T-Hub’s PACE program – a solution accelerator that enables corporates to find innovative solutions by directly working with startups.
As part of the collaboration, T-Hub worked closely with OKI to identify priority sectors where Indian startups could address real industrial challenges and create long-term business value. These sectors include Water Infrastructure and Logistics and Supply Chain.
Leveraging its deep understanding of the global startup ecosystem, T-Hub designed a program with scaled outreach to deeptech startups matching them with OKI’s own growth priorities.
The shortlisted startups are applying their core technologies to build direct or adjacent solutions across water infrastructure and logistics and supply chain, areas of growing strategic importance for both India and Japan.
