JOURNEY
IIIT Hyderabad started supporting startups in 2008 with the vision of commercializing the cutting-edge technologies developed in its research centres. Department of Science & Technology, Gol, recognized the incubation facility as a TBI in 2012, following which, the Foundation opened its doors to the startups outside the institute as well.
In 2015, Telangana State initiative, T-Hub, now the largest incubator in the country, was seeded inside IIIT-Hyderabad, with the CIE’s experience and knowledge being the building blocks.
In 2016, with the launch of the first deep-tech accelerator program AVISHKAR, CIE pivoted to an obvious journey to become deep-tech incubator in the country.
