Gujarat iCreate Pro-Fund Gateway

iCreate's program connects innovators and startups at idea-to-PoC stage with government funding, mentorship, and incubation for hardware/software technology innovations. iCreate operates out of its Ahmedabad campus and positions Pro-Fund Gateway as a single window onto a bouquet of Government of India and Government of Gujarat prototype-funding schemes rather than a single grant instrument, with individual scheme sizes ranging from roughly ₹2 lakh up to the ₹30 lakh ceiling for product development and go-to-market support over a 12-month period. Because pure service businesses are not eligible, applicants must show a hardware or software technology component to their innovation, and iCreate pairs the funding with its prototyping lab, technical mentorship, and strongly-recommended on-campus residency for the duration of the grant.
