I discuss different approaches for developing a holographic correspondence for theories with non-relativistic conformal symmetry. In particular, I will describe certain gravity backgrounds with non-relativistic conformal symmetry and their embedding in string theory. One method uses supergravity solution generating techniques. Another method is based on certain novel consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations with massive modes. These truncations have also other applications, in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, or otherwise.
