C-CAMP Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN) Centre of Excellence
Offers non-dilutive funding up to INR 1 crore for Indian biotech and medtech innovators.
C-CAMP and the Wadhwani Foundation jointly run this Centre of Excellence to help translate biotech and bioengineering research into industry-ready products, so the money is aimed squarely at commercialisation rather than early discovery: eligible projects must already be past Technology Readiness Level 4, meaning proof of concept is done and the work is moving into pilot studies, prototype refinem…
The Centre of Excellence funds translation-based technologies with commercial potential in Healthcare, Drugs, Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Industrial Biotechnology and Agriculture. It wants novel, product-oriented (not services-oriented) innovations that can generate intellectual property and meet an unmet market need.
