TIFAC-TCFA

TIFAC (DST, Government of India), has launched a programme called TREMP {Technology Refinement and Marketing Planning} to help product innovators to commercialize their innovations through a number of TCFAs (Technology Commercialization Facilitation Agency). MSRSAS established a TCFA in June 2009.

TFCA activities

  • Sourcing of technologies from innovators of technologies (freelancers, rural folk, students)
  • Screening of invented technologies in sectors like mechanical, chemical, agricultural, health etc.
  • Selection of technologies which have potential for commercialization
  • Identifying an entrepreneur for commercialization of the technology
  • Review of technology innovations by TCFA and entrepreneur, and arrive at refinements required in prototypes
  • Submission of innovations to TIFAC with the suggestions of refinements
  • Evaluation and approval of the proposal by TREMAP-TIFAC
  • Financial support for refinement of project by TIFAC
  • Refinement of projects by MSRSAS-TCFA
  • Review of refined projects by TCFA, entrepreneur and TIFAC
  • IPR-Patent registration with innovator and other stake holders
  • Transfer of technology to the buyer of technology
  • Signing of agreement
  • Sharing of revenue received through transfer of technology among stake holders

Technology business incubation

MSRSAS has created facilities at its Peenya Campus to incubate technology business entrepreneurship and has plans to support budding entrepreneurs to realize their dream. The scheme is to support about 25-30 candidates in each batch with each candidate having a project idea and would like to become an entrepreneur but have the limitation of resources.

MSRSAS will provide work space varying from 500-1000 sft at low rent on its campus. On campus, product design, engineering design and analysis, simulation, circuits design and fabrication, simulation, prototyping, testing facilities both in the areas of mechanical engineering and electronic engineering are made available at low cost.

Working on the project idea and making it a commercial successes is the sole responsibility of the candidate. Each candidate will be given support at low cost for three years, after which the candidate will move off of the campus, making way for a new candidate.

Technology business support

In addition to incubating technology business MSRSAS is creating facilities at its Peenya Campus to support small high technology businesses which will help students of MSRSAS to get exposure to advanced technologies. Each business will be provided with 1000-2000 square feet. of work space on a rental basis. These businesses are required to hire MSRSAS students. The business can use campus facilities.
