To Sustain Growth in an ever-changing and ever
challenging global business Environment

An appropriate environment must be created

A support system need to be developed

 Business Incubation

Complex services and special

environment provided temporarily for
start-up enterprises with the aim of
improving their chance of survival in
the early phase of the life span and
establishing their later intensive
growth is the formal definition of
business incubation.

5
 Incubation refers
to the process of
support

while

Incubator stands for

the organization and
infrastructure that are
set up for these
purposes

6
 Technology business incubators have
emerged from two influences:

1. An increasing interest in fostering indigenous business

development, particularly small business entrepreneurship,

as an economic development strategy.

2. The desire to develop high-technology businesses in the era

of globalisation.

Business Incubator

Technology Incubator (TI)

Technology Innovation Centre(TIC)

Technology Business Incubator(TBI)

Technology Business Incubator (TBI)
The TBI is a venture of universities, public research institutes, local
government and private institutions to promote and bolster a new
technology intensive enterprise.

TBI refers to the type of incubation where the focus group consists of
innovative, mostly technology-oriented, or knowledge-intensive
service sector enterprises and interactions with the academic sphere
giving a substantive element of the incubation process.

9
 Unique Characteristics
Innovative start-up firms

process of incubation is strongly intertwined with the

innovation process

Development of new innovative industries by

stimulating the establishment and early growth of start-
up firms.

10
Differences of Technology Business
Incubator from other Incubator

TBI is different from TI or TIC in that it supports the

commercialization of previously developed technology

It differs from general BIs in that it concerns technology-intensive

or high tech business. They provide a mechanism for technology
transfer

11
 Historical Context
Originated in the USA

The origins of the idea can be traced to 1942, when Student

Agencies Inc., in Ithaca, began incubating student companies.

In 1946, the first incubator outside the student community was

created by American Research Development (ARD)

In 1959, Charles Mancuso and his family purchased the Batavia

Industrial Centre (BIC) in New York State and used this former
factory warehouse to create jobs in an economically depressed
small town.
It was only in the 1960s that incubators began to develop.

Incubator

17
 Business Planning and Development Unit

Started by ICAR with the objective to accomplish

science and technology-led sustainable socio-
economic gains by applying intervention emerging
from the National Agricultural Research System
through technology validation, technology transfer
and enterprise development.

18
 Gaps in Technology Commercialization
Lack of awareness among the stakeholders regarding the scientific developments in

R&D institutions and organizations

Most of the technologies have not been validated for up-scaling, consumer

acceptance and marketing potential

Lack of documentation and dissemination knowledge related to technology

generation

Scientists consider patent filing process cumbersome and require proper guidance

to file patent on their intellectual property right (IPR)

Absence of effective marketing, technology transfer and entrepreneurship

strategies for promotion and adoption of newer products for successful

commercialization
19
 Objectives of BPDs
Enhancing the utilization of research by sensitizing and assisting
researchers to generate useful commercial data

Assisting researchers to make the transition from the laboratory to

commercialization

Interacting with the private sector so that research can be fine tuned to
match problems and opportunities

Developing a portfolio of techniques for encouraging the uptake of

technology dissemination covering a range of scales and investment
opportunities.
