Strategic Partners & Co

The Technology Business Incubator established by the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT-TBI) is an award-winning non-profit incubator supported by the Indian Government and partner of ICD Impact in matters of social innovation, entrepreneurship, impact investment and international cooperating projects in India and the SAARC region. Collaboration, engagement and interaction between the partners has been strengthened in 2020 with the objective to bring the highest possible socio-economic impact for participating Indian communities.

KIIT-TBI has built an extensive network with technology business incubators throughout India as well as worldwide reaching the SAARC region, the European Union and the United States, to offer a range of incubation facilities and services to entrepreneurs and convert innovative ideas into commercially viable products, having incubated and mentored 200+ startups to date. These startups are active in the domains of IT and Engineering, Cleantech, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Agri and Food Tech among other sectors in line with ICD Impact social innovation areas.

The ICD Impact-led Bridge for Billions/KIIT-TBI online technology business incubation program was rolled out in April 2020 and as many as 20 additional startups were taken onboard by KIIT-TBI for this unique cohort during the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of this pilot online incubation program made way for upcoming cohorts in 2021 with the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology and the expansion of similar programs to neighboring SAARC countries in the years to come.

Bridge for Billions is a digital ecosystem of entrepreneurship programs that helps seed-stage entrepreneurs worldwide to structure and develop their ventures. ICD Impact uses all opportunities to support these projects that entail coherent positive impact for communities and societies anywhere on the globe.

As corporations, public agencies and foundations invest in startups and entrepreneurs for social impact and development, Bridge for Billions offers the necessary online platform to relay investors, entrepreneurs and guiding mentors to make a successful incubation and acceleration possible for the launch of promising enterprises. ICD Impact provides the required global network of mentors and investors to facilitate the design and execution of international entrepreneurship mentorship programs that are attractive, modern and efficient enough to inspire young aspiring business and technology minded go-getters with a purpose from all cultures and parts of the world.

Even, maybe especially, in times of global pandemics, shutdowns, recessions crises, ICD Impact has and will continue to promote, mobilize and mediate all its available resources to assist global players to increase positive social impact and investments with its strong partner and associate Bridge for Billions for many years to come.
