Three start-ups each from the EU and India emerged as winners at the Battery Recycling Technologies Matchmaking Event, hosted under the EU-India Trade and Technology Council (TTC). These start-ups will participate in a fully-funded market immersion experience in the EU and India, connecting with key stakeholders, visiting recycling facilities, and exploring collaborations.
Additionally, Primobius (Germany) and Lohum (India) were selected to join the cohort to explore market access opportunities, though without financial assistance.
