Incubation Hub
An incubation hub in a college fosters innovation and entrepreneurship among students by providing resources, mentorship, and infrastructure to develop their ideas into viable startups. It serves as a creative space where aspiring entrepreneurs can collaborate, experiment, and refine their business models. The hub often offers access to funding opportunities, industry connections, and expert guidance, encouraging a culture of problem-solving and innovation. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, an incubation hub not only enhances students’ practical skills but also contributes to job creation and economic development. It plays a vital role in nurturing the next generation of innovators.
