CHENNAI: In a bid to solve civic challenges with the help of technology, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is planning to launch an online portal for its Chennai Innovation Hub (CHUB). CHUB was established to foster research and work on development of urban areas. It provides a platform for pilot projects and connects them with potential incubators and investors.

GCC is speculating over signing a memorandum of understanding with five incubators, which will focus on technology innovation to create solutions for civic issues faced by the city’s residents. Azhagu Pandia Raja, Innovation officer, Chennai Smart City Limited, said that the corporation is in initial stages of discussion with five incubators. “CHUB will act as an international platform. Any person, incubators and startups from different countries can connect with CHUB,” he added. They will also promote cross-border collaborations, and that this will be an effective way to work along with the government in problem-solving.
