Building bridges for a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem It is not often that Incubators and Accelerators come together and share their learnings and experiences of working in the Entrepreneurship ecosystem. One of those rare and invaluable opportunities presented itself last week, when I had the privilege of attending and representing NSRCEL, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore at the Incubators Conclave organized by NaaViC Agri-Business Incubation Centre ICAR-NIVEDI, held at the Karnataka Science and Technology Academy KSTA, along with my colleagues Chitvan Chamadia and Shriyam Yagnik. This event brought together representatives from 25+ incubators, providing an exceptional platform for exchanging insights and fostering collaboration. Listening to S Devarajan share his experience of the evolution of innovation in the Manufacturing and Automobile sector in India over the last 40 years shed light on the growth of innovation and intrapreneurship in the country and the role TVS Motor Company and BCIC Karnataka are playing to support innovation across India. 💡Here are three key learnings from the conclave: Innovative Strategies: The conclave highlighted diverse, approaches incubators use to overcome obstacles and stimulate entrepreneurship across thematic areas and sectors, showcasing a strong commitment to economic growth and nurturing entrepreneurial ecosystems. Community Building: Sharing experiences with peers underscored the importance of strong networks and continuous learning, essential for sustaining long-term success in the incubator community. Collaborative Problem-Solving: The collective brainstorming on regional challenges and conviction towards various co-incubation models reinforced the power of collaboration, highlighting the potential of a united incubator community. The conclave was an extraordinary opportunity to network with the wider ecosystem, delve into the best practices that different incubators follow, and discuss the unique challenges we encounter in our respective regions. The collective wisdom and collaborative spirit present were truly inspiring.
