Ten startups, including ambit, Proton, Xoptimus Hivericks Technologies, Fashmo PCB Design, Hetrogenous, Silizium, Cyrrup a Solutions, Anscer Robotics, 3W, Morphing Machines, were shortlisted from a pool of over 150 applicants by T-Hub.
MSR, CEO of T,-Hub, said, “In terms of global technological innovation, startups have helped position India at the very top. Recognising their potential, the government is promoting their development through well-targeted policies, strategies, and a renewed focus on the semiconductor industry. Our AIC T-Hub program is a commitment in the same direction. We are eager to collaborate with these startups and provide them with the technical assistance, mentoring, and market exposure they require.”
The selected startups will leverage free access to MPW (Multi Project Wafer) shuttle to prototype pre-production concepts of semiconductors, verify IP, and characterise device performance with a low-cost, fast feedback loop. They will also gain free interface with semiconductor foundries and access to assembly houses to manufacture and test their IC (Integrated Circuit) prototypes. In addition, industry experts and elite researchers from top institutes like CITD (Central Institute of Tool Design) and iCreate will mentor these startups on go-to-market strategies and collaborate on innovation pilot projects.
Rajesh Adla, CEO of AIC T-Hub Foundation, said, “It’s high time we kick start designing, developing, and manufacturing Semicon chips to build a thriving semiconductor ecosystem in India. Incubation plays a key role in making this happen as it’s a new terrain to explore for young startups and the next generations to try Semicon.”
The selected startups will be provided access to T-Hub’s network of premium service providers and global investor pool, including HNIs and banks, for debt or equity financing to access capital needs and invest in the product. In addition, T-Hub will help them with government grants, funds, and incentives, like T-Fund, SISF (Startup India Seed Fund), Meity, and ISM, for quick monetary gains.
