T-Hub and Japan's OKI Select Eight Indian Startups for Global Acceleration

Hyderabad's startup incubator T-Hub has partnered with Japanese firm Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (OKI) to launch a market-access program for Indian deep-tech startups aiming to expand into Japan and other global markets.

The initiative focuses on enabling Indian startups to validate their technologies and pursue commercial opportunities in key industrial sectors. Following a multi-stage evaluation process, eight startups were selected to work alongside OKI under T-Hub's PACE accelerator program.

T-Hub's PACE platform operates as a solution accelerator designed to assist corporate partners in identifying innovative technology solutions by working directly with emerging startups. The new program attracted more than 150 applications from deep-tech ventures across India.

Through this collaboration, T-Hub and OKI identified specific priority areas where startups can tackle operational challenges and build long-term value. The focus sectors include water infrastructure as well as logistics and supply chain management, both identified as areas of growing strategic importance for India and Japan.

The shortlisted startups will apply their core technologies to develop direct and adjacent solutions tailored to OKI's growth priorities and the broader Japanese market.
