Gujarat is the hub of the industry and bunch of innovators in various fields but due to proper awareness and guidance some individual innovators and small scale industries can not create the innovations to its fullest. To help all such innovators and small scale industry specially related to pharmaceutical and life science, MSME has initiated a project.
The Foundation of MSME Clusters, a New Delhi based NGO specializing in cluster development which is implementing the Promoting Innovative Clusters (PICs) for life sciences industry with support of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), is creating mentors' groups in various pharma hubs in Gujarat to identify and support potential innovators showing them the right roadmap for success.
The foundation, which has been working actively for the past three years to develop an ecosystem that promotes the life sciences, largely the pharmaceuticals, medical devices and ISM clusters along with strengthening the existing stakeholders in the cluster, is creating mentors' group in five regions--- Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Baroda, Vapi and Ankaleswar by including experts in various life science segments, for the purpose.
The group for Ahmedabad has already came into existence, according to sources from the foundation.
The mentors' group will identify the potential innovators and start up firms to take their discovery further to commercialization by giving roadmap including technical expertise and linkages. The foundation is also planning to create a website for the mentors' group to facilitate online connectivity to the innovators with the experts.
