About Us
Startups have now become the engines of modern global economic growth. Through innovation and risk-taking abilities, entrepreneurs have transformed our society. They have designed myriad products that satisfy our wants. These science and technology-based firms are passionate enough to turn every necessity into invention and discovery, promoting profitable business enterprises that contribute to sustainable growth. The major objective of a technology business incubator is not only to facilitate in the setting up of startups which are technology-based and knowledge-driven but also to nurture their growth by providing them with the necessary platform required for their growth and establishment as successful enterprises. Thus a technology business incubator ensures the development of innovation across the country as the need of the hour along with other outcomes like the creation of more jobs and wealth in the region and life made easier through technological advancements.
The successfully graduated startups thus become a part in contributing towards the STARTUP INDIA CAMPAIGN which was first set to go by the PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA with an aim of cultivating a startup culture so as to attain self-sustainability for India as a whole and help in the creation of more jobs, revitalization of neighbourhoods, commercialization of new technologies and strengthening of local and national economies. An incubator necessarily provides the breeding ground for the startups by providing with rental spaces, equipment and lab facilities, mentorships from subject matter experts, technology support services and financial assistance via various funding schemes so as to guide a startup company to climb up the ladder. At Technology Business Incubator, NITCalicut, we focus on building sustainable regional platforms for incubating technology-related businesses. We help in utilizing technology as a means for the economic development. The incubator accelerates the development of the entrepreneurial companies from ideas stage to independent self-sustaining successful businesses.
Concerning the role of entrepreneurship in stimulating economic growth, TBI-NITC aid them by improving the survival and growth of experimental entrepreneurial units. TBI NITC performs a level playing role by acting as a focal point of interactions between seed funding governmental agencies, academicians, students, venture capitalists, industry and other government institutions. These potential stakeholders enable the startup companies by providing with solutions to the problems they come across their journey as startup businesses. Thus these stakeholders act as catalysts for the economic development of the region and thus the country as well.
