GBI is working with Innovation Orbit to facilitate the “Global Innovation Expert” roadshow in Bangalore on the 5th and 6th of December, 2022. Innovation Orbit is focused on the analysis and development of innovation ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on training people to understand the mechanisms of innovation processes and their cultural roots. GBI and Innovation Orbit have also co-authored a book called “𝑺𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒔” that covers 12 successful innovation regions and provides a deep insight into the secret mechanisms of these ecosystems, including Bangalore. The roadshow that will be kicked off in Bangalore aims to increase participants´ understanding of how innovation processes are organised within enterprises, universities, and research organisations within regional innovation ecosystems. Participants of the program shall understand the differences in innovation ecosystems across global regions. The differences in culture will get them a deeper understanding of how regions innovate and where the strengths and weaknesses are. The roadshow will include other innovation ecosystems like Tel Aviv, Sofia, Zurich, Nairobi, New York, and Medellin later this year. As part of the 2-day program, we are planning site visits to key organisations involved in fostering innovation in the Bangalore ecosystem.

SMART e-FLEET AND ELECTRIFICATION OF BUS FLEETS | | | |
We are collaborating with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd (VTT) to plan and deploy optimal zero-emission vehicle fleets through a Smart e-Fleet simulation solution. VTT is a visionary research, development, and innovation partner for companies and society. The Smart e-Fleet is a system-level simulation toolbox for optimal dimensioning electric vehicle fleets (buses, trucks, etc.) and techno-economical evaluation of various deployment scenarios. It can support the zero-emission transition of existing vehicle fleets or help redesign and reoptimise in case of partially implemented solutions. The tool can scale up scenarios in a modular in any city or environment considering various practicalities from the specific operational environment (city’s topology, road infra, weather conditions, stops/delivery points, etc.), applied vehicle technologies (with specific technical characteristics and battery capacity), and location and capacity of the existing or planned to charge infrastructure. The tool creates a digital twin of the transport network. It allows studying various deployment scenarios fitting the operational constraints and projecting the cost for any of them by providing Total Cost of Ownership calculations to support the economic viability assessment, thus reducing the risk of costly mistakes in procuring vehicles and deploying charging infrastructure. Please click on this link for a short video about the Smart e-Fleet platform. Please reach out to rchengappa@globalbusinessinroads.com to explore how you could leverage the VTT smart e-Fleet tool for easy decision-making and faster EV deployment based on simulation data evidence.
