New Delhi, June 8 (IANS) Nasscom on Monday announced the launch of the UK edition of its flagship global market access programme, InnoTrek 2026, to help Indian DeepTech startups accelerate international expansion and strengthen their presence in global innovation ecosystems.

Scheduled between June 8 and June 12, the 11th edition of Nasscom InnoTrek will take a select cohort of Indian DeepTech startups to the United Kingdom for the first time, offering access to investors, enterprises, policymakers and industry leaders across the UK technology ecosystem.

The initiative comes amid expanding collaboration between India and the UK across technology, artificial intelligence, digital transformation and advanced research, with startups expected to play a growing role in strengthening innovation-led partnerships between the two countries.

Under the programme, participating startups will attend business meetings and networking engagements during London Tech Week, interact with Indian technology companies operating in the UK and explore opportunities beyond London, including innovation hubs such as Manchester.

In addition, the programme will include dedicated sessions on market entry strategies, fundraising opportunities, enterprise adoption, regulatory requirements and scaling globally competitive DeepTech businesses.

“Indian DeepTech startups are increasingly building solutions that address global challenges across AI, enterprise technology, mobility, operations, analytics and decision intelligence,” said Rajesh Nambiar, President, Nasscom.

“As India and the UK continue to deepen their technology partnership, startups will play a critical role in driving the next phase of innovation-led collaboration. Through InnoTrek UK 2026, we aim to provide founders with direct access to one of the world’s most vibrant innovation ecosystems,” he added.

As part of the initiative, Nasscom will also host the Nasscom UK Forum on June 10 at the High Commission of India in London under the theme, “Building the Next Decade of the India-UK Partnership”.

The forum will bring together startups, investors, business leaders and ecosystem partners for discussions around artificial intelligence, DeepTech, digital transformation, research collaboration, talent mobility and investment opportunities.

Moreover, InnoTrek has emerged as one of India’s key international market access initiatives for technology startups, helping founders connect with global customers, investors and strategic partners across multiple markets.

The participating startup cohort includes companies working across agentic AI, enterprise intelligence, mobility technology, operations automation, wearable AI and decision intelligence platforms.
