From thehindu.com
The Start-Up India mission to be unveiled on Saturday by Prime Minister Narendra Modi includes an ambitious plan to create a network of startup centres, technology business incubators and research parks, to take the startup culture beyond the top-tier education institutions such as IITs and IIMs.
The Human Resource Development Ministry and the Department of Science and Technology have agreed to partner in an initiative to set up over 75 such startup support hubs in the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), the Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and NIPERs or National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research.

University Research Park Aims to Attract Companies and Talent that Seek Urban Spaces and Collaboration

Aaron Olver wants University Research Park to look more like a city.
That, says URP's managing director, includes bringing in restaurants, coffee shop and fitness centers, as well as adding more picnic tables and social events and expanding URP's food carts program. It's all part of an effort to attract more companies to URP and bring in talent that increasingly seeks urban spaces and collaboration.
"It's a trend and a force that Research Park has to capture going into the future," Olver said yesterday at a Rotary Club event. That's not to say that URP, located three miles west of UW-Madison, doesn't already have a wealth of companies there. In fact, Olver said, the amount of tech companies at URP make it one of the densest tech spaces in the country.
