GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview
U.S. Embassy India is funding one $150K grant for a 'U.S.-India Sports Technology Dialogues and Innovation Program' — connecting American sports technology companies/expertise with Indian sports innovation ecosystems. Think: workshops, hackathons, or showcases where U.S. sports tech (analytics, wearables, AI coaching, fan engagement platforms) is demonstrated to Indian sports organizations, startups, and universities.
Who Should Apply
Nonprofits, educational institutions, or organizations in India with connections to both U.S. sports technology industry and Indian sports/startup ecosystems.
Who Should NOT Apply
For-profit sports tech companies (they're participants, not implementers), organizations outside India, groups without sports technology expertise, or anyone without U.S. tech industry connections.
Key Requirements (Plain English)
- •Must facilitate U.S.-India sports technology dialogue and innovation
- •Must connect American sports tech with Indian sports ecosystem
- •Single award of $150K
- •Must operate in India
- •Must include technology showcases, dialogues, or innovation programs
- •No cost-sharing required
💡 GrantQuick Tip
A niche Embassy grant at the intersection of sports tech and U.S.-India commercial diplomacy. If you're a sports-focused incubator, university sports management program, or tech industry association in India with existing U.S. sports tech connections, this fits perfectly. The Embassy wants to showcase American innovation — bring in U.S. companies (Catapult, Zebra, Second Spectrum) and connect them with Indian sports organizations (IPL teams, Olympic federations, sports universities).
Competitiveness: Low — single award but very niche. Few organizations in India combine sports technology expertise with U.S. industry connections.
