Does NIF seek association with other domestic and international technology incubators? What possible synergies does it aim to exploit?

Yes, NIF seeks association with both domestic and international technology incubators. Innovation based incubator cannot have expertise in all the sectors, whereas other incubators world over are formed on the basis of domain expertise. So this kind of arrangement will bring NIF the benefits of incubators expertise. Some incubators are present in different geographical locations, hence can help in generating business with their incubatee’s or nearby business community. Also NIF can access the physical infrastructure and networking of the incubators.

How can an incubator join hands with incubation process of NIF? 

This association essentially should be on project basis. Therefore incubators should identify technology from our link – www.nifindia.org/bd
Therefore project should be identified by the incubator or with mutual understanding. There is an advance search engine to select technologies based on the criteria;

• Search as per phrase given by you
• Patent status i.e. patent granted, pending, design registration
• Regional consideration based on the source of innovation
• Based on the 18 categories of technologies (http://www.nifindia.org/bd/product_category )
• Technology status i.e. ready to market, idea/concept, prototype development, testing & validation, market testing
