IIT Hyderabad to launch Semiconductor Startup Incubation and Acceleration Program.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad will dispatch the 'Semiconductor Startup Incubation and Acceleration Program' in a joint effort with NXP Semiconductors, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, and Fabless Chip Design Incubator (FabCI). The program is pointed toward hatching up to five new businesses for a time of two years. New companies that principally centre around semiconductor chip plan, IP configuration, plan administrations with an IP centre and chip configuration device will want to take part in this program.
The program will give a stage for new companies to grandstand their items to the financial backer just as the business local area. Start-ups shortlisted for the centre program will get benefits gathering up to Rs 1 crore each year, per startup.

Prof. BS Murty, Director, IIT-Hyderabad, called the program "genuinely necessary to start a time of the semiconductor biological system in India". He said, "With the approach of Atmanirbhar Bharat, more number of new companies are relied upon to come up across a different fragment of the innovation and Incubators like FabCI with the help of Technology specialists like NXP will fortify the beginning up's biological system in the semiconductor enterprises."
Then again, Ajay Sawhney, Secretary, MeitY, Government of India, has said that the program intends to discover, encourage and tutor the semiconductor and IP plan new companies in India. He considered it a huge advance as India is ready to build its offer in development driven worldwide assembling of cell phones and IT equipment.
