Virtual Delegation Trip for Indian Startups
Informative “Karlsruhe Day” in cooperation with GINSEP
Together with 4 regional partners – including Karlsruhe – the “German Indian Exchange Program” (GINSEP, a non-monetary platform initiated by the “German Startups Association”) gave 19 selected startups from India operating in the digital health or industrial digitization space the chance to go on a digital trip to Germany from October 26th-30th!
The event was supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) to strengthen and foster exchange between India and Germany in the startup space and support Indian and German startups in their efforts to gain access to the respective other market. “Jointly with the 19 selected Indian startups, we are kicking off the one-week long digital investor and startup tour”, said Julian Zix, Project Lead “Ginsep”. The "Karlsruhe Day" was coordinated by Economic Developement & hosted by CyberForum in collaboration with various partners.
Measuring the Trees
“Grüne Lunge Project” Investigates How We Can Make Urban Trees and Forests Fit for Climate Change
A typical summer's day in the city of Karlsruhe: Bright sunshine, 28 degrees, it's humid. Passers-by intuitively seek the cooling shade of trees or buildings. “This everyday situation shows how important trees are to the urban climate”, says Dr. Somidh Saha, forestry scientist at KIT’s Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS). "In the city, however, trees are exposed to various stresses", Saha adds.

The researcher is head of the joint project GrüneLunge (greenlung), which is funded with over 1.4 million euros by the “City of the Future” program of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In cooperation with the Baden-Württemberg Forest Research Institute (Forstliche Versuchsanstalt Baden-Württemberg - FVA), Germany’s national meteorological service “DeutscherWetterdienst” (DWD), the Karlsruhe Parks Department, and the Rheinstetten Building Authorities, researchers at ITAS are investigating how weather extremes and airpollution affect the health, growth, and ecosystem of trees and forests in cities.

Anlaufstelle in Pune
Die Kooperation zwischen Karlsruhe und dem indischen Pune ist einen Schritt weiter: Im Januar 2014 wurde im "MCCIA Trade Tower", 403, Senapati Bapat Road, eine direkte Karlsruher Anlaufstelle mit den Repräsentantinnen Iris Becker und Winnie Kulkarni von "Let's Bridge IT" in Pune eröffnet.
Durch Erfolg und Ausbau der vielfältigen Aktivitäten - ob Infos rund um den Standort Karlsruhe, aktiv Kontakte zu indischen Firmen halten oder deutsche Firmen aus der TRK in und um Pune bekannter machen - erfolgte im März 2018 ein Umzug in neue Räumlichkeiten, auch durch die Erweiterung um die Repräsentanz des Landes Baden-Württembergs in Maharashtra sowie das Marketingbüro der „Hochschul Föderation Südwest“.
