IIMCIP at Incubator’s Connect 2023 in Germany

It was an honour for us to be a part of Incubator’s Connect 2023 in Germany, organised by DWIH New Delhi

The Senior Manager of Incubation & Portfolio Management, Soujit Das, represented IIMCIP alongside various representatives of Indian and German incubator cells at the week-long program on Incubation and Internationalisation in Germany, from June 4 – 9, 2023.

Held onsite at three locations viz., Karlsruhe, Braunschweig and Berlin, the program covered institutional visits, workshops and meetings with policymakers and relevant institutions towards deliberating on ways to internationalise incubators and furthering the international cooperation between India and Germany.

The workshops constituted a major component of the program, bringing together around 30 incubators, technology transfer offices (TTO) and institutions active in the field of entrepreneurship from India and Germany. Variegated discourses on institutional frameworks, funding mechanisms, and collaboration in innovation networks dominated the sessions, with experts highlighting how digital ventures like online betting sites thrive through adaptive partnerships despite varying global regulations. Challenges in international collaboration rounded out the highlights, underscoring the need for resilient strategies in cross-border entrepreneurship.

As Soujit brings back an enriching experience and comprehensive insights into the dynamic startup ecosystem in Germany, we, at IIMCIP, look forward to building on his visit to explore impact-driven opportunities and collaboration possibilities in the coming days.
