Pre-Incubation Stage

This stage mainly focuses on ideation stage, where the technologist having a potential innovative idea and that can be provided with a co-working space. In the pre-incubation period, the entrepreneurs will take up the role of a ‘technocrat’ who extends the idea into a proof of concept or construct a module and prepares himself/herself for understanding the technical feasibility of the idea proposed. Several potential innovations or start-up teams may come out of this co-working ecosystem. PAHSUIC will supports to the start-ups or innovators by mentoring through their guides / teachers or by creating right platform for networking. Once a marketable technology/product idea is evolved, a company can be formed and PAHSUIC can look at for Incubation Stage.
