Incubators
Our entire organization provides Virtual Incubation. We deliver this support through email and other web portals as well as site visits, where we provide this kind of support to our clients who have the size and capability to take advantage of this service format. The IRC team typically provides business advice, technical coaching, and operational mentoring to our clients.
The IRC also has spaces dedicated to small scale production by MSMEs who do not possess their own production facilities. MSMEs involved in the fashion & apparel industry, craft (particularly jewellery and leather-craft), those in food service and agro-processing are able to rent space on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This affords users to access industry standard equipment and benefit from technical and management support.
