The programme is part of the government-run KSUM’s aim of creating a vibrant start-up ecosystem that promotes the growth of innovation-led technology entrepreneurship by supporting all the strata of society.

IEDCs under KSUM can apply for the project, which seeks to upgrade IEDCs to incubators to support the young innovators from the institution and make the centres self-sustained.

The project also provides platform for speedy commercialisation of technologies developed by the host institution or by any academic/technical/R&D institution or by an individual. It aims to build a vibrant start-up ecosystem by establishing a network between academia, financial institutions, industries and other institutions.
