- Implement advanced infrastructure for energy, transportation, communication, and waste management.
- Utilize data analytics and AI to optimize city services and resource allocation.
- Develop green spaces and implement sustainable practices to minimize the city's ecological footprint.
Green Project
- This smart community will operate on a self-reliant and sustainable model, generating its own power from renewable resources, reformed, re-used and recycled, to minimize the dependence on natural resources.
- Environmental sustainability, which aims to safeguard natural capital (such as land, air, water, minerals, etc.) and enhance human welfare.
Social Responsibility
- Keeping in mind the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals of zero hunger, no poverty, climate action, and so on, SLIC’s aim is to develop a single platform for innovations across different sectors such as:
- *Astronomy & Space related research
- *Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Virtual technology (VT) and Digital Marketing Services.
- * New energy technologies viz.
- * Green hydrogen (from different sources like organic feedstock & Waste, Hydrogen fuel cells, Hydrogen storage for Transport. Etc.)
- * Electric vehicles & Electric Batteries.
- * Solar and other renewable sources along with Batteries
- * Decarbonization technologies.
- * New agricultural as well as manufacturing techniques.
- The SLIC Community plan includes an innovation as well as a commercial center, with a vision to provide a variety of services in each. The community also plans to provide incubation services, entrepreneurship development training, networking activities, marketing assistance, high-speed internet access, access to bank loans, debt funds, and guarantee programs, links to strategic partners, access to angel investors or venture capital, advisory boards, and mentors, management team identification, technology commercialization assistance, help with regulatory compliance, intellectual property management, and PLUG N PLAY incubation space with basic amenities.
- This smart community will operate on a self reliant and sustainable model, generating its own power from renewable resources, reformed, re-used and recycled, to minimize the dependence on natural resources.
