The Symbiosis programme is run with the collaborating universities in two stages. In the first stage, selected
participants will undergo 3 phases of training scheduled within a three-month period. These include:
Phase I: Induction course - Introduction to the researchers and their technologies that have been
pre-selected from universities.
Phase II: Entrepreneurship course
Phase III: Commercialisation workshop - modules-based workshop to understand the concept and
practices in commercialisation processes.
After the trainings, the participants are required to write and present a concrete business plan on
how to commercialise the technology that they have selected.
For stage two, an evaluation process will be carried out where ten best participants are selected to
form their own companies to execute their business plan. The companies will receive funding from
MTDC and be incubated for 24 months at any one of MTDC's Technology Centres where further
assistance will be provided in making sure commercialisation takes place. |
