Smart city living labs at IIIT Hyderabad launched a Smart city Start-up challenge, in association with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the smart city mission. The programme is aimed at supporting start-ups that aid sustainability, inclusivity and innovation of solutions for smart cities. The main areas which the challenge is focused on are waste, water, health, energy, and safety and security. Any start-up which has a solution ready (with or without customers) for the above-mentioned areas can apply for the challenge. The application deadline is June 1, 2021. Given the rapid growth in urban population, smart city technologies are seen as vehicles to promote effectiveness and efficiency.
