i-Hub - A Government of Gujarat Initiative

This will be a flagship program under SSIP to scout, engage and leverage best mentors across domains and region to help the start-ups through
i-Hub and allied programs of SSIP.

We are a nascent start-up ecosystem and endeavours like SSIP are primarily trying to build a culture in the state. While the vision and intent to build a progressive ecosystem is set in place due to past two year efforts of SSIP and similar attempts.

Once a product/service is developed by an innovator at Minimum Viable stage, testing it and certification plays crucial role for further taking it to market.

SSIP has created wide range of incentives for innovators and start-ups. It has been seen that institutes across the states are now taking concrete measures to implement the policy mandate.

An online market place may be created separately on Amazon/ flipkart and other e commerce portals for Innovators and start-ups who are ready with their offerings via innovative products and services.

In early stage, a bootstrapped start-up generally does not have much resource to market or popularize its innovative products/services. In this product-market fit zone, it’s very important for the innovator to avail facility to go out to market and promote their products.

Incentives to student Innovators and Start-ups for exposure and participation in innovation/start-up related programmes at national and international arena.

This takes huge energy and resource from the early entrepreneur. SSIP is going to create a single point facility center for these key and allied auxiliary needs through its flagship program Start-up Samarth.

Student Open Innovation Challenge (SOIC) is a flagship initiative of the Student Startup and Innovation Policy, developed under the aegis of the Education Department,Government of Gujarat, to create a unique environment across academia in the state.

#WeEngage
Startup Engage

In the early stage it’s hard to avail various support for innovators/Start-ups from multiple sources as it increases its transaction cost. SSIP hub wishes to cater to this by having a dedicated programme called Start-up Clinic.

I-Hub has launched a flagship programme "Startup Srujan" to extend further support and avail further financial support (between 2.5-10 lac INR) as per the need of the startups to take the Prototype to Product/Market Stage.

Startup Grow is a comprehensive incubation program by i-Hub to scout, engage, and nurture best startups across domains and regions to help them flourish and grow exponentially.

WEstart -A flagship initiative to support and encourage women entrepreneurs enabling them to transform their idea into a business venture and develop an inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystem in the state.
