Fifth Round of Invitation for Proposals under Seed Support Scheme
1.Technology Development Board (TDB), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India has been enacted to provide soft financing to Indian companies enabling commercialization of their innovations.
2. As a proactive step, TDB has started Seed Support Scheme for technology start-ups in Technology Business Incubators (TBIs)/ Science and Technology Parks (STEPs) by providing grant upto Rs. 1 crore each over a period of upto three years.
TDB hereby invites proposals from STEPs/ TBIs/ Institutions having similar infrastructure and capabilities for grant support for Technology Start ups. Interested organizations may forward comprehensive proposals by July 31, 2011 in the specified format (annexed) by email and also in print to:-
Mr H.K.Mittal, Secretary,
Technology Development Board, Vishwakarma Bhawan, Shaheed Jeet Singh Marg, New Delhi
Tel: 011 2653 7349, Fax: 2653 1862
Email: hk.mital@nic.in Website: www.tdb.gov.in
3. STEPs / TBIs are supposed to have “Space + Service + Knowledge + In house Technology start up incubatees”.
4. STEPs / TBIs may use TDB grants to provide loan and / or equity support to their in-house incubatees based on transparent policies & procedures. The total upper ceiling of financial assistance to be disbursed to an incubatee is limited to Rs. 25 lakhs per incubatee. Other Terms and conditions are required to be adopted by the fund managers at the forum of “ Project Management Committee” in which TDB is represented.
5. The financial assistance to technology startups is basically to cater to early stage support requiring up-scaling of innovations and related work. This, however, can be a substitute to Project Financing. The incubatees must also have reasonable financial stakes. Off- course other sources of finance can also be availed by incubatees. The financial assistance is for incubated entrepreneur only and not for administrative /expenses / facilities creation of /by STEP/TBI. As per the provisions of TDB Act, it must be used for commercializing innovations involving major / substantial / reasonable technology development. Mere applications development / product and / or services creation using existing technology platforms do not qualify.
