Imperial College London is prepared to launch its global center in Bengaluru, India, in May 2025. The creation of the hub seeks to enhance the educational, scientific, and innovative collaboration between India and the UK.  Professor Sanjeev Gupta and Dr. Elena Dieckmann will lead the hub initiative.

Professor Hugh Brady, President of Imperial College London says, “Imperial Global India will be a launchpad for powerful new collaborations in research, innovation and education between the UK and India. The hub will open communication channels with researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs and industry to apply cutting-edge science, technology and engineering solutions to shared global challenges in areas such as telecommunications, critical minerals, semiconductors, AI, quantum, biotechnology and advanced materials. Our ambition is to strengthen the bridge between the UK and India to drive economic growth and prosperity, create a more sustainable and resilient world and enhance the quality of life for billions of people.”   

 “The vision for Imperial Global India is incredibly exciting, particularly the potential to co-create and learn from the entrepreneurs in India's fast-paced and rapidly expanding innovation community,” says Dr Elena Dieckmann, the Academic Co-Director for Imperial Global India.

“I see great synergy with Imperial's ability to take early discovery science and transform it into real-world technologies and applications,” adds Dr Elena.
