The Palakkad centre has been functioning since January this year following a memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked in November 2018.
As for the new startups onboard, Speranza functions in waste management by converting plastic waste into HDCP tiles. The company has already developed the product; it is now proposing a facility for processing both soft and hard plastic waste into shredded plastic that can be used for various recycled options.
Techbhive is into software and e-commerce, providing a social business platform to hyperlocal businesses that aggregate information such as updates, products, services and deals.
