Innovation is name of the game. And in today’s day and age, young minds think out-of-the-box to germinate proof-of-concept science and technology ideas. Scientific community and start-up inventors often wish to step out of bootstrap mode into a healthier self-sustaining one with little funding help to bring them to market. US companies can partner with Indian companies to avail opportunities to develop their creative concepts evolving from incubation to maturity.
