With the launch of its first student-centric program in the country, India’s students have not opened anything for innovators. London -based technology company introduced nothing incubator, designed to discover new ideas from students eager to reopen the technical landscape. The objective of this initiative is to give students a platform to bring practical experience and guidance to life.
Unlike specific competitions, some incubator offers a structured program that combines mentorship, real -world challenges and tangible awards. The company hopes that this effort will motivate students to reconsider how technology can be made attractive and accessible. It invites teams of more than 60 top colleges across India, including IIM Ahmedabad, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay and BITS Pilani.
