Incubation at KLE CTIE

This is the general incubation route, and it runs continuously rather than in cohorts. CTIE splits its audience into entrepreneurs and startups, students, and researchers and faculty, and says it both attracts outside founders and enables student startups.

What you get

• Incubation space at one of three campuses, with meeting rooms, conference halls and auditoriums
• Access to the Makerspace and to the Electronics Enabling Lab for RF, thermal, vibration and EMI/EMC testing
• Access, through the university, to its Thinkering Lab and to seven research centres CTIE calls STAR Labs
• More than 50 business mentors, described as industry experts, founders, domain specialists, investment advisors and technology consultants
• An IP facilitation cell for patents and trademarks, and product development support
• Introductions to investors and to the government schemes CTIE says it has been sanctioned to run

Who can apply

• Founders and startups from outside the university — CTIE says it attracts and supports external entrepreneurs
• Students, researchers and faculty of KLE Technological University
• No incorporation, turnover, age or domicile requirement is stated

How selection works: not published. No committee, pitch day or scoring process is described anywhere on the site.

How to apply: use the Apply for Incubation form on any page of CTIE's site, or write to ctie@kletech.ac.in. There is no deadline.
