Studies also show that suchmechanisms help not only in the growth of technology based new enterprises but also inimproving their survival rate substantially (from 30 per cent to over 70 per cent). TBIs alsofacilitate speedy commercialisation of research outputs. The TBIs usually provide followingtypes of services:- • Market survey/ marketing assistance, • Business planning and training, • Organising management/ technical assistance, • Assistance in obtaining statutory approvals, • Information dissemination on product ideas/technologies, • Syndicating finances, • Arranging legal and IPR services, • Using facilities of the Host Institute (HI) at nominal charges, • Work space for a limited period • Common facilities of TBI such as communication, conference, computers.Thus, the TBIs besides providing a host of services to new enterprises (and also to existingSMEs in the region) also facilitate an atmosphere congenial for their survival and growth. 74

The essential feature of a TBI is that the tenant companies leave the incubator space within2-3 years.Investing ProfileType of funding: LoanFunding cap: NA Area/Sector Focus: NAGeographic Focus: IndiaFunding Use Restrictions: NAApplication DetailsApplication process: NAEligibility requirements: NADeadlines: NADocuments needed: NAOther details:TBIs Sanctioned by DST as on 31.12.2009Andhra PradeshMs. Deepanwita ChattopadhyayChief Executive OfficerICICI Knowledge Park-Life Sciences IncubatorLevel IV , ICICI Bank TowerSt. No. 1, BegumpetHyderabad - 560 016Tel: 9140 2348 0003/ 0022Fax: 040 2348 0007Email: deepanwita@icicikp.comWebsite: http://www.iciciknowledgepark.com/icicikp/iciciinnerfiles/Incubators.htmTechnological Thrust Area: Life SciencesYear of Establishment: 2005 75
