Welcome to our vibrant Innovation Ecosystem, a dedicated space designed to nurture your ideas and transform them into impactful realities. Whether you are a student, a faculty researcher, or an aspiring entrepreneur, we are here to provide the structured support and collaborative spirit you need to succeed.
Analogy for Understanding: Think of our innovation ecosystem as a high-tech greenhouse. You bring the seeds (your initial ideas), and we provide the specialized soil (mentors and guidance), the regulated climate (evaluation and monitoring), and the protective glass (IP protection) to ensure your ideas grow strong enough to be transplanted into the vast forest of the global market.
Below is an overview of how we can work together to bring your projects to life.
We believe every great project deserves a clear path to success. Our team focuses on synergizing with partners like CMACED to ensure you have the materials and evaluation rubrics necessary to excel.
For those involved in ETTPs, Final Year Projects (FYPs), SEP projects, or ID 92 incubatees, we offer comprehensive guidance on IP potential and commercialization routes to help your project transition into the professional world.
We actively collaborate with faculty members to acquire project materials and identify experts capable of delivering third-party contract research. Our team provides the necessary assistance for project execution and follows up to ensure your research achieves its full potential.
We work closely with the Directorate of Postgraduate Studies (DOPS) to identify high-potential PhD synopses. We provide specialized awareness and training sessions to help doctoral students navigate the routes toward IP and commercialization.
From the initial call for submissions to the final market finding stage, we support funded projects through desk evaluations, monitoring of timelines and costs, and securing third-party prototype testing reports.
Your intellectual property is the heartbeat of innovation. We have streamlined our services to make protecting your work as simple and supportive as possible.
If you have a new idea, our Scouting New IPs initiative is here to help. We provide detailed service information, record your interest, and assist you in properly filling out IP Disclosure forms.

Navigating the legalities of IP can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. We handle the documentary requirements, manage pay orders for service charges, and maintain all records for IPs filed at the national level.

We are committed to being your partner in every step of the innovation process, providing the required support and follow-up to ensure your hard work makes a lasting difference.
