Entrepreneurial ventures and startups cannot operate in a vacuum; an ecosystem is required to be nurtured for these startups to grow. Incubation is at the core of this ecosystem which furthers the culture of incremental Innovation.
Innovation:
With drastic changes in Environment and introduction of new technology, there is a need for different yet effective solutions to the requirements of an ever-changing market. A Research suggests that while, 40% of Entrepreneurs are born, 60% are made which means the entrepreneurial skills can be trained. Professional Innovation Management is a set of processes and good practices which can be taught.
Incubation: Incubation facility within the education system enables the next generation of entrepreneurs to experiment and try their hands at Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship: Innovation and Incubation are at the heart of the Entrepreneurial activity. To develop a mindset of taking up Entrepreneurship as a career option, it is important to understand the rules of Innovation and facilitate it through Incubation. The advent of MOOCs and a growing traction of courses and mentorship programmes on entrepreneurs indicates an emerging belief that entrepreneurship can be taught. Here are a few startling figures forecasted by the experts in Entrepreneurship: Startup ventures in India are set to grow by 2.2 times to reach 10,500 by 2020, Indian startups will create jobs and provide employment to 1 billion millennials in the next 3 years. All these figures further the activity of entrepreneurship in India.
