The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) has announced a seed fund scheme for start-ups operating in the areas of Urban Development and Disaster Management by using space technology.
The scheme, launched in collaboration with the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO, will provide opportunities for NGEs that leverage space technology for societal benefits to graduate to the next level. The last date of application for the Seed Fund Scheme is December 20.
As part of the scheme, selected start-ups will receive seed funding for transforming an original idea into a prototype using space technology, ISRO facility support, including Earth Observation (EO) data for validation of the concept, mentorship support, and access to data algorithms as transfer of technology from the Department of Space.
