What is RICH
RICH is an initiative that has been conceived to unlock the national treasure created by the top scientific research institutions in Telangana State, and to actively facilitate the process of taking their research to market. This requires new ideas, innovations, technologies, advisors, mentors, funding and support services, to be brought together seamlessly. The Government recognizes that there are gaps in this innovation-entrepreneurship-investment ecosystem, which has prevented full utilization of the R&D work taking place in these institutions. RICH is the platform that will link research institutions, academia and industry along with venture capitalists, angel investors and incubators. RICH will initially focus on three sectors, same model of collaboration will later be extended to other priority sectors of the State.
