About MSME Innovative Scheme — incubation, with ATTC as Host Institute
This is the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises' scheme, not ATTC's. What ATTC holds is a place on the Ministry's live list of Host Institutes for the incubation component — serial 815, checked against the Ministry's own list on 25 September 2026. A Host Institute is the body that sets up a business incubator and nurtures an innovator's idea; being listed is what lets you name ATTC when you apply on the Ministry's portal.
What you get
- A Host Institute that provides space, equipment, lab access and support while your idea is taken from concept towards a prototype and a business.
- Support under the scheme is paid to the Host Institute. Nothing is transferred to the innovator's own account.
- Where a machine you need is not available on campus, the scheme allows you to use machines elsewhere on a pay-as-used basis, arranged through the host.
Who can apply
- Any individual or MSME with an innovative idea that can be converted into a prototype and then a business activity.
- No qualification bar. An individual needs an Aadhaar number; an MSME needs a valid Udyam registration.
- Innovators from every state and union territory are eligible, and institutes in the North East region are given priority for support.
How selection works: ideas are submitted through a Host Institute and approved by the Ministry, so the institute's willingness to host you comes first.
How to apply: on the Ministry's own incubation portal, naming ATTC as your Host Institute. Being on the list is a registration of capacity, not proof that ATTC has hosted an idea before — confirm with the institute first. ATTC's own website does not mention the scheme anywhere.
