Incubator Edge Program

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) through its Startup
India initiative is on a mission to support incubators that enable entrepreneurs to create
viable and successful ventures.

We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by incubators and are responding to this need
by offering 30 incubators access to a 9 month intensive program called Incubator Edge,
aimed at improving capacity of incubator managers and helping incubators produce more
viable startups. 

The 9 month training is open to business incubation managers who are seeking to
understand the building blocks and impact of incubation and aims to be a growth hack for
incubators to reach a level of successful metrics.

At the end of the program we hope that incubators would be able to ensure that early-stage
entrepreneurs are able to access the right training, skills development and community
required to build more viable, sustainable and scalable ventures.

Through the Incubator Edge Program you get access to:

1. Face-to-face Workshops on Process-Driven Incubation

2. Ecosystem Visits to Learn from the Best

The program and training will be free of cost for incubators
