Tata Sons and the New York Academy of Sciences have together launched the Tata Transformation Prize. The Tata Transformation Prize is a fantastic opportunity for leading researchers in India to earn recognition for their innovative work. The Prize will not only bring Indian scientific research to the global forefront but also propel pathbreaking solutions from Indian scientists that generate meaningful impact.
The Prize is being given for technologies that address India’s most critical challenges in three categories - Food Security, Sustainability, and Healthcare.
By recognising and supporting the large-scale implementation of high-risk, high-reward research, the Prize will drive impactful innovation in scientific disciplines of importance to India’s societal needs and economic competitiveness.
