Proposed Calendar of activities for IEDCs

Uniformity of activities is being brought in so as all IEDCs could function more effectively and efficiently in a collaborative manner

Taking IEDC activities to next level

Bringing synergy among IEDCs

The prime objective of the IEDC is to identify innovative scalable ideas from institutions and connect them to Kerala Startup Mission or provide them with all the necessary ingredients either directly or through various stakeholders that would convert them to startups.
Aim of IEDC should be to generate At Least two Startups (a startup with a product or service) from each IEDC every year and should be registered under KSUM (Startup having KSUM Unique ID/ Registered DPIIT)
IEDCs should ensure the design and delivery of programmes as per the provisions mentioned in the IEDC Nodal Officer’s Handbook and Fund Utilisation Guideline of KSUM. Funding will be provided to top performing IEDCs

These programmes are particulary designed to actively engage with IEDCs, create new academic interventions and translate IEDCs to innovation hubs and Technology Business Incubators

Following points should be kept in mind designing and running programme in IEDCs. Accreditation of IEDCs will be done to identify the top performing IEDCs linked with the following points at the end of march every year

  1. At least 2 startups from an IEDC every year
  2. At least 2 Patents from an IEDC every year
  3. At least 5 Startups from KSUM TBIs every year
  4. Creating micro VCs in IEDCs
  5. Build investable companies
  6. Teaching students and people the art of doing business through IEDCs
  7. Build & strengthen angel network around IEDC for funding
  8. Cross collaboration among IEDC
  9. Build talent around deep tech
  10. IEDCs to create co working spaces under LEAP
