Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) has established Space Technology Innovation and Incubation Cell (STIIC) within its campus to facilitate incubation of new enterprises with innovative technologies. It is a unique incubation centre within the country supported by Department of Space, Government of India and located inside the vibrant campus of IIST.

By admitting the aspiring companies/entrepreneur teams, STIIC would facilitate and support product innovations and development, simulation and prototyping, pilot experimentation, product software testing, training, and other technology related work, in which there is considerable overlap with the Institute’s mandate. You may refer to the IIST website (www.iist.ac.in) to have a flavor of the academic and research activities we pursue.

In addition to mentoring and infrastructure support, STIIC would also back the startups in their investment search processes by organizing meet-ups, demoday events including pitch deck competitions with a larger participation from the ISRO experts so that their companies get better visibility and find suitable investments.

While the emphasis of the STIIC is on Space related innovations/technologies, it covers all areas of science and technology in harmony with the Nation’s interest.
