At NIT Calicut Foundation for Technology Business Incubation, we help startups identify, evaluate, and leverage the right technologies to build innovative and competitive solutions. Our team of technical experts provides strategic guidance on technology selection, product development, process optimization, and equipment acquisition, ensuring that startups make informed decisions at every stage of their journey.
We work closely with entrepreneurs to refine their ideas, validate technical feasibility, and adopt cost-effective solutions that enhance product quality, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate time-to-market. By combining technical expertise with industry insights, we enable startups to innovate confidently while optimizing resources and minimizing development costs.
We help our startups perform pre-feasibility studies, Project appraisal, Market Research and techno-economic analysis of businesses. We also provide provision to our startups to access research papers online from our host institute’s online portal which can give them an insight on the relevant researches in their respective areas.
We conduct various training programs on a regular basis as an initiative, for the enrichment of entrepreneurial, technical and managerial skills for our startups, students community as well as individuals who have a strong inclination towards business. These programs are taken by visiting faculties, management gurus, officials from central and state government sectors and private sector, subject matter experts and the patrons of NITC incubation who are from diverse technical backgrounds. Training would be provided in specialized technical areas like Entrepreneurship Development, Management and Legal compliance.
Apart from incubation, we also contribute to the enrichment of the students of NITC by providing student internship at TBI. In this process, the students get a chance to interact with the startups and learn entrepreneurship skills. These interactions trigger flows of ideas in the students, which enable them to the foundation of a startup concept. Moreover, we motivate our incubatees to take part in national-level or state-level exhibitions which provide them with a platform to showcase their products to the potential investors and tech-enthusiasts.
TBI manages its incubation program in three building spaces with a total space of nearly 7000 sq. ft. TBI-NITC provides the following facilities to the incubated companies:
