@MSInSociety successfully hosted a two-day Strategic Workshop for its supported incubation centres, bringing together incubation leaders, academic institutions, and ecosystem stakeholders from across the state.

Maharashtra today has built a strong and growing network of 29 MSInS-supported incubation centres across academic institutions, research organisations, and innovation hubs. These centres play a crucial role in nurturing early-stage startups, supporting technology commercialization, and enabling entrepreneurs to transform ideas into scalable ventures.

A key highlight of the workshop was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with leading institutions such as VJTI and @IIMNagpurIndia , further strengthening the state’s incubation ecosystem. These collaborations will enhance institutional capabilities, promote innovation, and expand support for startups across regions, including Vidarbha.

Hon. Minister, Skills, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Shri @MPLodha, reiterated the Government’s commitment to building a robust and inclusive startup ecosystem. Hon. Additional Chief Secretary, Smt. Manisha Verma, IAS, emphasized the need to strengthen institutional capacity to better support early-stage innovators.

Dr. Shrikant Patil, CEO, MSInS, highlighted that the strength of a startup ecosystem lies not just in the number of startups, but in the quality of support systems. He emphasized MSInS’s vision of building a connected and collaborative network of incubators across Maharashtra.

The workshop also featured insightful sessions by Shri Ramanan Ramanathan and Mr. Prasad Menon, focusing on strengthening incubation practices and highlighting the importance of financial, operational, and strategic sustainability of incubators.

The initiative provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and aligning efforts towards building a stronger and more sustainable startup ecosystem in Maharashtra.

We thank all participating incubation centres for their active engagement and look forward to continued collaboration in strengthening Maharashtra’s innovation ecosystem.
