Incubation Centre, IGCAR will be a ‘World-class Facility’, that will be catalytic in incubating spin-off technologies of IGCAR in the Southern region through appropriate handholding with entrepreneurs and MSMEs.
Will create a strong network of mentors from IGCAR who would provide sector specific knowledge and guidance to incubatees.
Will conduct events, awareness/inspirational programmes and training programmes for start-ups and potential start-ups at frequent intervals.
Will implement the recommendations and stipulations of the Governing Board of IC-IGCAR (when formed).
Will catalyze incubation activities involving IGCAR technology developers, academic institutions and industries in areas of R&D aligned with the programmes of DAE.
Will actively liaise with all the Groups/Divisions of IGCAR towards identifying technologies amenable for incubation/transfer/patenting.
Will be responsible for all IPR related tasks of IGCAR. This includes filing/renewal of IGCAR patents in coordination with DAE IPR Cell, Mumbai.
Will coordinate with Technology Transfer & Collaborative Division, BARC to enable technology transfers of IGCAR technologies readied/incubated.

Technology Incubation Activities: DAE Incubation Centre, IGCAR signed a collaborative incubation agreement on 18.10.22 with a Mumbai based private manufacturer to complete development of the technology "Replaceable Feed-through Connectors for Glove Boxes" within a period of 10-12 months. This is IGCAR’s first technology incubation agreement with private sector following the DAE Incubation Policy (2021).
Caption: A collaborative incubation agreement was signed between DAE Incubation Centre-IGCAR and a Mumbai based industry on 18.10.2022 for partnering and developing together the “Replaceable Feed-through Connectors for Glove Boxes” technology. This is the first incubation agreement signed with private sector following the DAE Incubation Policy (2021). Inset is a photograph of the signing of the agreement.
Technology Incubation Activities: A collaborative incubation agreement, as per DAE Incubation Policy (2021), has been signed on 01.11.2022 between DAE Incubation Centre-IGCAR and a start-up company based in IIT(Madras) for developing “Hydrogen Sensor” technology. This partnership with the start-up is expected to accelerate development of this IGCAR technology from its current technology readiness level (TRL) of ‘4’ to TRL ‘8’ or ‘9’, suitable for commercialisation, during the incubation period of ~18-24 months. Developers of this IGCAR technology work in the Materials Chemistry and Metal Fuel Cycle Group.
