A new India-Upper Rhine Region Soft-Landing Programme has been launched to support Indian startups looking to expand into Germany and the broader European market. The initiative aims to connect Indian founders with leading innovation hubs and business networks in Germany’s Upper Rhine region. The programme is designed to help startups navigate the European ecosystem by providing structured market-entry support, investor connections, and access to industry networks. Through the initiative, participating startups will also be able to explore collaboration opportunities with European technology companies, research institutions, and innovation clusters. Organised with support from regional innovation partners, the programme focuses on building stronger startup and technology cooperation between India and Germany, particularly in areas such as deep tech, digital innovation, and research-driven entrepreneurship. The soft-landing initiative will take place in April 2026, offering selected startups the opportunity to engage directly with European investors, mentors, and ecosystem leaders while gaining insights into regulatory frameworks and market dynamics across the region. Applications for the programme are currently open, inviting Indian startups seeking international expansion opportunities to apply and participate in the upcoming cohort.
