Incubation & Entrepreneurship

Innovation and research often lead to prototypes, concepts, and ideas with immense potential, which can be incubated either at a campus/institution, or in an incubation lab elsewhere. A few of these might even move on to productization and head towards the marketplace. Each of these phases of evolution requires hand-holding, mentoring, and funding. CLF joins hands with like-minded entities, corporates and funding agencies to promote such projects (both individual and institutional ones). We also play a proactive role in making the lab-to-funding-to-market transition a reality.
