Our Translation Model

Academics at IIT Bombay generate a pipeline of new ideas and potentially breakthrough technologies through our seed funding. With the inputs from internal and external experts and consultants, these technologies are further matured through prototyping and field-testing with support from our translation funds. Along the way, we actively connect our PIs to industry partners for licensing or to investors and incubators for the creation of spin-off companies.
hello world!
