Funding opportunities for Prototype Development
With the goal to foster innovation within industry, academia and government bodies, IIT Ropar has launched a prototype development and innovation fund (PDIF). The PDIF has been established to address the technology gap between research labs and commercial products. The PDIF will fund projects that would validate the commercial potential of a technology and projects that serve the immediate technological needs of the nation in general and the regional industry in particular.
Governed by an eminent board chaired by Director IIT Ropar Professor M. K. Surappa the PDIF will fund upto 20 projects in the first two years. Average contribution to a project from PDIF would be 10 Lakh. Typical project would be a partnership between the industry and the academia with a strong case for commercialization of the technology based on the prototype to be developed in the project. Industry partners are expected to provide matching funds for the prototype development.
