Description
The U.S. Consulate General Mumbai, on behalf of the U.S. Mission to India, invites proposals for a cooperative agreement to implement a high-impact public diplomacy initiative focused on U.S.–India energy technology partnership. The program aims to position U.S. energy technologies as preferred solutions to India’s energy security challenges by convening key Indian government officials, industry leaders, academia, and media stakeholders. Through a series of regional conferences, a virtual mentorship program, and a national-level conference, the initiative will foster new commercial partnerships, increase awareness of U.S. energy technology, and drive business and policy outcomes that support U.S. economic and strategic interests in India and the Indo-Pacific region.
The program will address India’s growing energy demand, promote U.S. solutions in energy storage, smart grids, digitalization, small modular reactors, and geothermal energy, and facilitate U.S.-India collaboration through targeted engagement and partnership-building activities.
