इस ग्रांट के बारे में
The Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN) program, an initiative of the Wadhwani Innovation Centre (WIC) at IIT Bombay, in collaboration with the Manipal – Government of Karnataka Bioincubator, seeks to accelerate advanced health and bio technologies. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between promising research and market-ready solutions by providing significant non-dilutive grant support. The program specifically targets innovators, startups, and research teams that have developed technologies at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 4 or above, ensuring a focus on solutions beyond the initial ideation phase. By emphasizing rigorous justification of TRL based on the National Technology Readiness Assessment Framework (NTRAF), WIN ensures that selected projects possess a strong foundation for further development and commercialization. The collaboration with the Manipal Bioincubator as an execution hub underscores the program's commitment to providing not just financial aid, but also an ecosystem conducive to the growth and successful deployment of innovative health solutions in India. This call for Expression of Interest (EoI) invites proposals that demonstrate strong scientific merit, clear commercialisation potential, and innovative aspects that offer significant advantages over existing solutions in terms of cost, performance, ease of use, or accessibility. The ultimate goal is to foster groundbreaking innovation in the healthcare sector, bringing impactful technologies from laboratory to market and addressing critical needs within the industry.
