Teams competed for the cash prizes, mentorship, and grants for next level of project developments.

This year, the programme received registrations from 250 teams with final 91 active ideas (68 in Research track and 23 in Startup track). After the two-stage selection process, 15 top ideas (13 in Research track and 2 in Startup track) were onboarded for a guided idea development for 2-3 months. During the idea development/performance phase, all teams received interactive mentoring sessions from the industry specialists cum challenge area owners from Tata Steel (Dr. Sudhakar R Marur, Dr. Amar N Bhagat, M C Thomas, Kingshuk Poddar) and subject matter experts from IITs, NITs and IISc (Prof. Kantesh Balani, Prof. Nikhil Singha, Prof. Chenna R Borra, Prof. Bankim C Ray, Prof. Saumen Mandal, Prof. Suryasarathi Bose) in respective challenge areas. Apart from these, each team were also tagged with at least one mentor from the local institute. The teams were also supported with small revenue expenditure funds as per activity estimates.

The grand finale jury comprised Dr. Tata Narasinga Rao, Director, ARCI Hyderabad; Dr. Debashish Bhattacharjee, Vice President, Technology & New Material Business, Tata Steel; Mr. Ravi Arora, Vice President, Innovation Program, Tata Sons.

MaterialNEXT as an open innovation event is targeted at leading academic institutes, research centres and early stage deep-tech start-up incubation spaces nurtured in these institutes as a catchment area for novel ideas, which would be taken up subsequently through TSAMRC (Tata Steel Advanced Materials Research Centre) for technology entrepreneurship. Selected ideas from the MaterialNEXT platform would be incubated and nurtured through collaborative experimentation routes to higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and further for commercialisation by internal business units with other partners.

Dr. Debashish Bhattacharjee, Vice President, Technology & New Materials Business, Tata Steel, said: “MaterialNEXT is an open innovation platform which aims to encourage and promote entrepreneurship and innovation in the areas of materials for mobility, healthcare, building materials and industrial equipment together with circular economy. We congratulate the winning teams of the second edition of MaterialNEXT for their futuristic approach towards innovating products that will help the society and the environment.”

MaterialNEXT programme was launched on December 28, 2020, coinciding with the birthday of Mr. Ratan N Tata, Chairman Tata Trusts and Chairman Emeritus Tata Sons. The second edition of the initiative was launched across India as a flagship event of Tata Steel and was based on four key themes/challenges: Fiber Reinforced Composites, Novel Coatings, Urban Mining and Medical Materials.
