Sinitic, Voltera, 2G Robotics, Ulula, Push, Site2Site, Szio+ Inc, Sitata and o2 Canada are the Canada-based start-ups that have been selected for the Global Bridge: Canada-India programme.
Canada-India programme
Launched this year in July, the Canada-India programme is of 3 months duration during which the selected start-ups will be trained and supported in formulating and executing their market strategies in India. They will be provided with the resources required to set up their businesses and local production facilities in the country. T-hub will provide the start-ups with business networks by connecting them with potential clients, Proof of Concept (PoC) and revenue streams.
Srinivas Kollipara, CEO, T-Hub, said that T-Hub’s partnership with the start-ups is aimed at establishing India as the key market. The Canadian Digital Media Network (CDMN) has offered a grant of $4000 for each of the startups for the Canada-India programme.
