IHFC (I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics) is TIH (Technology Innovation Hub) at IIT-Delhi. We are set up under aegis of the National mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) of Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. Our mission is to advance India in the real of Cobotics or Collaborative robotics by bridging industry, research and Academia.
While there are number of reasons to incubate at IHFC, IIT-Delhi which may be found here: LINK. The biggest boost organisations gain is the network and resources of IIT-Delhi. Getting a fair valuation and access to funds via appropriate channels and meeting industry demands also becomes easier for some companies. You can access some Testimonials here: LINK
Yes absolutely. Not all incubations at IHFC must be physical. In this day and age, we like any other organisation encourage companies to work with what works best for advancing Cobotics while addressing unseen pandemic like issues. We also have a partnership with institutes around the country to help provide guidance as required to nurture talent in the best possible way. Every Cobotics win is a win for IHFC’s mission wherever it may be housed.
Expert Panel consists of the Director and CEO of IHFC, along with members such as a financial expert, Industry Expert and Professors from IIT-Delhi.
Unfortunately knowing a collaborator, professor or any personal connected to IHFC or IIT-Delhi will not bypass our expert panel evaluations. We believe in equality and fair processes at IHFC and like to award everyone a fair chance to incubate or seek funding support.
