Technology Awareness & Identification
We assist in planning programs or methods to increase awareness in SMEs of the latest inventions, innovations or best practices globally and additionally help SMEs identify the right technology.

Technology Development and/or upgradation
We assist SMEs in developing technology or upgrade existing operations through a network of R&D Labs/Academic Institute or consultants. The upgradation includes all the requirements of a company like raw materials, process, quality, packaging, etc.

Research Promotion for New Product Introduction (NPI)
We promote basic research for New Product Introduction (NPI). The research assistance offered via the network will encompass all activities from feasibility to launch.

Technology Sourcing & transfer
We are tied up with a vast network of national and international research institutes and experts. Our services include identifying the right technology source, expert evaluation of technology and if required, adaptation of the technology for meeting the national / international standards and statutory requirements. We also help our clients in negotiating the best ‘technology transfer’ deals with the technology provider. For this purpose, the center provides information on the required international trade regulations and standards.

Technology Commercialization
As a logical extension to the Technology Sourcing & transfer Services, we provide a helping hand to the entrepreneurs and industries in commercialization of the technologies. The center assists SMEs in converting a lab-scale or a concept (patentable) product to a pilot-scale product and eventually get it tested by nationally / internationally accredited labs and if required, test-market it for further commercialization.

Quality control
The center assists SMEs in identifying methods to improve quality and yield of products. We will also help in identifying the appropriate quality tools like TQM, Six Sigma, etc.,

IPR Services/Assistance
We assist SMEs & entrepreneurs in intellectual property assessment & filing of patents with the help of external consultants.

Promotion of Technologies leading to Societal Benefits
We understand that for sustainable development, technology has to play key role in development of society. Though most of the technology projects supported by the center ultimately play an important role for the development of the society, we have taken the lead to promote projects through direct or indirect Government intervention, for the benefit of the society as a whole.

We are constantly looking out for Technologies for Social Benefits, to work on newer models of industry – society linkage for sustainable development.
