Foundation for Science, Innovation and Development, IISc Bangalore

Welcome to Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID). We are setup with a mission to ensure that scientific knowledge that exists within IISc is harnessed to help the industry and society at large. Here we strive to create and translate some of the finest original scientific knowledge and technology into a practical and valuable form in the real world. We approach this large and compelling task through four symbiotic entities that come together to compose FSID. CORE that engages with large corporations in collaborative research. STEM that incubates startups that have deep science and societal impact. TIME² that works with midsized enterprises to put them on a disruptive growth path via innovation, and finally, SEED that supports rural entrepreneurship and targets the area of agricultural waste management.
