Find the right startups for your problem — and a program built to match.
AIC-GIM's Corporate Innovation Program taps a network of 3,000+ startups and designs a bespoke program around your specific priorities — to scout solutions, run pilots, and build what's next.
Building internally is slow. Buying blindly is risky.
Enterprises don't lack ambition — they lack a fast, de-risked way to work with the right startups already solving their problems.
We don't hand you a fixed catalogue. We start from your challenge, scout across a 3,000+ startup database, and build a program around it — so your teams pilot real solutions in weeks, not quarters.
- ✓Start from the problem, not a pre-set list of vendors.
- ✓Access beyond our portfolio — sourcing from a 3,000+ startup network.
- ✓De-risked pilots with milestones and clear go/no-go gates.
- ✓Institutional trust of an Atal Incubation Centre at GIM.
