WHAT WE DO  →   SMART BIO-CPS

SMART BIO-CPS PROGRAM

BITS BioCyTiH Foundation launched its flagship funding program, Strategic Market Advancement of Ready-to-go Technology Products in Bio-CPS (SMART Bio-CPS), as a unique funding initiative to identify and support mature, market-ready technologies and products in Bio-CPS from Indian Start-up and MSME for an intensely accelerated market advancement within a period of 6-9 months.

This program supports two categories of projects viz. SMART Bio-CPS & Mini SMART Bio-CPS :

Category 1 SMART Bio-CPS:

Strategic funding support for accelerated market launch of matured technologies and products in Bio-CPS or augmentation of matured products with CPS technology components.

The minimum Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) for entry of technologies & products under this category is ≥TRL-7 that are poised to market in next 6-9 months.

Products which are already in the market (TRL-8/9) and require addition of a critical CPS technology component to enhance their functionalities are also provided support in this category.

Total project cost is capped at INR 40.00 Lakhs.

Category 2 Mini SMART Bio-CPS:

Targeted funding support to achieve a “critical step” for Bio-CPS technologies at ≥ TRL-3 (Proof of Concept) to demonstrate a functional prototype (TRL-4) and beyond within a period of 4-6 months.

Total project support is capped at INR 10.00 Lakhs.
