Next Generation Incubation Services

Next Generation Incubation Services (NGIS) initiative has been brought by the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI).
The aim is to develop and build an ecosystem for start-ups in tier-2 locations in partnership with the Ministry of Electronics and IT.
NGIS program is created and aligned with the vision of National Policy on Software Products (NPSP 2019) and it will create a robust ecosystem for software product development in the country.
It will be implemented in 12 STPI centres across the country over a period of 3 years.
The local start-up ecosystem will be nurtured and supported.
As part of NGIS, quarterly challenge programmes will be conducted in association with industry partners and central government departments that can provide mentorship as well as funding support.
MeitY has approved Rs 60 crore to be spent in three years for the 12 locations to nurture about 300 start-ups and all the state governments too have been extending matching grants.
STPI also announced the launch of ‘CHUNAUTI’ - Challenge Hunt under NGIS for Advanced Uninhibited Technology Intervention.
