ANIC solicits innovations in the prototype stage and supports the selected start-ups through to the commercialization stage over a course of 12 – 18 months.

Vision:

Help create products from existing technologies that solve problems of national importance and societal relevance (productization)
Help new solutions find markets and early customers (commercialization) in the context of India.
