Technology Adoption Fund: India’s opening of the space sector to private players has been aggravated by one motive – to grow our space sector both technologically as well as commercially while reducing our dependence on imports for various space activities. Today, IN-SPACe has taken a significant step in this regard. I’m delighted to announce the launch of the Technology Adoption Fund (TAF) for enabling industry to transform early stage R&D or innovations into viable commercial outputs. The fund will offer financial support of up to 60% of the project cost for startups and MSMEs, and 40% for larger industries, with a maximum funding cap of ?25 Crores per project. With such an expenditure module, the fund will help innovators effectively navigate the road from early-stage development and commercialization. This support will enable companies to refine their technologies, enhance production processes, and meet market demands both within India and abroad, while significantly reduce the financial risk with Government funding. Our focus is on enabling practical solutions that can be quickly integrated into the space ecosystem. With Vikshit Bharat taking charge and India’s projections for a USD 44 billion space economy by 2033, TAF is one such initiative that would help India reduce import-dependence and promote domestic research and development. IN-SPACe is also committed to offer technical guidance and mentoring opportunities to startups under the fund. IN-SPACe ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization
