Govt to scale up network of incubators, accelerators to spur start-ups

Government is committed to scaling up the network of incubators and accelerators massively over the next three years, Minister for Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Tuesday as he pledged Centre’s support for entrepreneurs and start ups to grow to the next level.

On the occasion of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, Vaishnaw launched the ‘Amrit Mahotsav Shri Shakti Challenge 2021’ to encourage technology solutions developed by women entrepreneurs which facilitate women’s safety and empowerment, an official release said.

In his address, Vaishnaw observed that for a country of over 130 crore people, mere 100-300 incubators would not be suffice.
