## What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of State's Public Diplomacy Section in New Delhi invites proposals from eligible non-profit, non-governmental organizations to develop and implement public diplomacy programs in collaboration with the Nexus Start-up Hub at the American Center in New Delhi. This initiative aims to address the growing interest among Indian business sectors in adopting U.S. entrepreneurial skills and values, thereby fostering cultural and economic ties between the two nations. By leveraging the Nexus platform and the expertise of American Center New Delhi, this project aims to equip emerging Indian business leaders with the necessary skills to engage with Indo-Pacific investors and partners, particularly from the United States. Through these efforts, we seek to further strengthen bilateral relations while fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in India. The project's one-year timeline will focus on expanding Nexus's reach to a broader and more diverse audience, aligning with the Public Diplomacy Section's objectives. This expansion will involve offering knowledge and training in state-of-the-art American incubator management to India's extensive network of over 1,000 incubators. The primary location for these activities will be the American Center in New Delhi, ensuring accessibility and maximizing impact; however, partner organizations will be expected to conduct business sector outreach and network management at locations throughout India and in conjunction with U.S. Mission India constituent consulates.
