About Pre-incubation
Pre-incubation is the entry point for people who are earlier than a company. The centre takes an idea and helps refine it using the services it offers, with the aim of getting to a working prototype and then to a product that can be sold. Companies at an early stage of prototype development can also be inducted.
What you get
- The centre's services applied to refining your idea towards a working prototype
- An offer of incubation at EP Bhubaneswar if you complete pre-incubation successfully
Who can apply
- Innovators with an innovative idea in ESDM
- Companies at early stages of prototype development
How to apply: Apply to the next Open Challenge Program season on STPI's SAYUJ portal. The centre lists "startups with an extraordinary idea" as something it looks for under pre-incubation.
