The lead coordinator for India for the ASEAN-India Startup Festival 2022 will be the Startup Incubation & Innovation Centre (SIIC), the technology business incubator at IIT Kanpur.
The Festival is being held in Indonesia from the 27 to the 30th of October to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the ASEAN-India Partnership. The celebration and strengthening of the ASEAN-India Partnership in the field of science and technology are the main objectives of the event. It is backed by the Indian government’s Department of Science & Technology (DST).

Professor Abhay Karandikar, Director of IIT Kanpur, expressed his delight at the news, saying, “India is emerging as a global leader in the startup and innovation landscape. I am proud that IIT Kanpur’s incubation ecosystem is able to share its learning of two decades, not only with new incubators from India but also from ASEAN nations.” He continued by saying that the festival would provide a variety of opportunities for the participating countries to collaborate and grow their research and innovation.
The ASEAN-India Startup festival provides opportunities for Indian startups to interact with global businesses and investors while also strengthening cross-border ties with ASEAN countries. Additionally, the shortlisted startups would have the opportunity to compete in the event’s Pitch Battle and win up to $7,500 in cash.
