Institute Innovation Council
It is a hub for encouraging creativity, entrepreneurship, and cutting-edge research. At IIC-SVGU, we aim to empower students, researchers, and innovators by providing them with a dynamic environment to translate their ideas into impactful solutions. In addition to contributing to India's startup ecosystem, the council seeks to establish a robust innovation-driven culture within the university system and provide students with a much-needed innovation, preincubation, and incubation environment.
The existing pool of faculty members, researchers, research ecosystem, and common facilities provide pathways for fresh ideas to be nurtured within the university system, and these young innovators receive entrepreneurial support to become a full-fledged start-up.
Pre-incubation and incubation are the two support tiers that IIC-SVGU envisions. SVGU intends to establish a co-working space that will include mentoring, support on funding, assistance with trademark and patent licensing, networking, and a training program.
What we strive to achieve
Our mission is to support and foster the attitude of innovation and entrepreneurship within the academic community.
