Incubators provide mentorship to our startups. They identify and nurture startups as well as administer the funding to the startups on behalf of the IDM Programme Office. Incubators will advise startups on the uniqueness of their ideas, aggregate startups with similar ideas, offer networks, and provide guidance on securing additional funding and general business advice.

Local Access : Local companies and investors
Talent : Incubators with ready access to talent & technology sources
Differentiated Approach : Experienced, well organised teams with established track record
To-Market Support : Incubators that can help our start-ups scale globally from Day 1
