EVangelise’23 is a flagship event organized by iCreate, India’s leading incubator of tech startups. The event brings together key stakeholders in the electric vehicle industry, including innovators, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers, to shape the future of this rapidly growing sector. It offers a unique platform for collaboration, innovation, and growth, providing exceptional opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and strategic partnerships.
We strongly believe that realizing India’s dream of becoming a global manufacturing hub for electric vehicles hinges on two crucial factors. We are first identifying the most promising EV startups with disruptive, scalable, and indigenously developed solutions and technologies and, second, fostering partnerships between these startups, EV manufacturers, and investors. EVangelise ’23 can play a pivotal role in facilitating this process.
Our previous editions, EVangelise’21 and EVangelsie’22, witnessed an overwhelming response with participation from over 2,000 applicants across 183 cities and towns in India. Forty finalists emerged from this competitive pool, securing substantial financial support, incubation grants, expert mentoring, rapid prototyping and testing facilities, and invaluable industry connections. Through the assistance provided by iCreate, a total of more than 28 prototypes were developed, and 10 manufacturing collaborations were initiated.
The 2023 edition of Evangelise focuses on taking the challenge to a new level by widening the scope to many different classes of vehicles and adopting a two-fold approach:
– Scouting for best early-stage start-ups and providing incubation support to the deserving innovators
– Facilitating manufacturing partnerships for industry-ready start-ups and providing them access to VC networks to boost their entrepreneurial journey.
