About this subsidy

This program, a pivotal component of the Haryana Startup Policy 2022, offers targeted financial assistance to eligible startups established within the state of Haryana. It is a key initiative administered by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Haryana, through its dedicated platform, Startup Haryana. The department's overarching mission is to cultivate a dynamic and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem across Haryana, fostering innovation and providing a comprehensive suite of fiscal incentives and enabling infrastructure for emerging businesses to thrive.

The core benefit involves reimbursement for specific expenses incurred by startups successfully participating in recognized domestic or international acceleration programs. This financial provision allows eligible startups to claim up to ₹2,50,000 annually. The support is designed to alleviate the financial strain associated with engaging in intensive accelerator experiences, covering program fees, essential travel expenses, lodging, and various other directly associated operational costs. Participation in accelerators offers startups unparalleled access to structured growth methodologies, expert mentorship, valuable networking opportunities with investors and industry leaders, and exposure to broader markets. This program helps ensure that financial limitations do not prevent promising startups from accessing these critical resources.

The allocated funds are exclusively for mitigating the financial barriers to accessing premier acceleration opportunities. This ensures that promising Haryana-based startups can benefit from structured growth methodologies, mentorship, and networking without prohibitive financial constraints. Eligible expenses include not only direct program charges but also critical logistical outlays such as transportation and accommodation necessary for active participation throughout the accelerator journey. By supporting participation in these programs, the Haryana government aims to enhance the competitiveness and scalability of its local startup ventures, integrating them into national and global innovation networks.
