“The bioincubator at IITK
with it’s close ties to BIRAC
provides a rare opportunity
to those with an entrepre-
neurial bent to transition
research ideas into busi-
nesses. The incubator will
serve as a venture accelerator
by providing a hub where an entre-
preneur can find solutions to many problems that
the founders of a young company have to grapple
with - finding inexpensive space, accessing lab
equipment and expertise, regulatory support or
looking for seed funding. The bioincubator
support system and the IITK network is rooting for
them and will be ready to assist when required.
We hope to see a new generation of vibrant
science and technology driven companies coming
out of IITK”
