Incubation Manager Training
About the Program
This initiative is part of NSRCEL’s Ecosystem Capacity Building vertical. Based on our interactions with over 100 incubators in the last few years from different parts of the country, we observed there is a widespread need to strengthen and nurture talent across the board within incubation centres. To address this need, we are launching a 10 weeks online program that brings together academicians and ecosystem practitioners with experience in building and running incubation programs. Through this program, participants will gain the core knowledge, skills, and mindsets required to run an incubation program end-to-end.
