It is the home of new experimental arena dedicated to nurturing innovation & entrepreneurship (I&E) towards building Green and Sustainable products.
Innovations and revolutionary products rarely start out as a physical object. They may start out as a concept in someone’s head; But you cannot succeed with just ideas alone.
