SAP Startup Focus (SAP’s Global Startup Accelerator program) and Innovation Society, The Government of Andhra Pradesh (GovAP) have partnered to collaboratively discover, realize, and empower local innovation in the Indian state. This alliance will grow on many fronts, including formation of a joint startup accelerator and partnered facilitation of technologies, governances, and knowledge – all to empower Andhra Pradesh’s entrepreneurial state.
Innovation in Andhra Pradesh
India envisions 2010-2020 to be its “Decade of Innovation,” and the state of Andhra Pradesh is no stranger to innovation. The Indian state had enacted its Innovation Society alongside many initiatives to unite science, technology, and government to jumpstart the nation’s IT innovation across areas including IoT, Health, Oil & Gas, and Urban Management among many others.
Andhra Pradesh and its Innovation Society have prime advantages to create a world-class disruptive ecosystem – the state already ranks amongst top Indian states in creating conducive business environments for IT and Electronics sectors. Entrepreneurs have access to incubation services, readily trained workforces, and progressive policies/funds to further enrich their innovative pursuits.
Given Andhra Pradesh’s resources and offerings to their startup scene, there are countless industry opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators to disrupt. The state’s government and institutions wholly support the IT and Electronics domains – moreover, these domains are reinforced by the tech-savvy and forward-thinking population. The Innovation Society’s concerted efforts to create an innovative ecosystem aims to “promote the innovation required for leapfrogging in terms of the technology and business models, processes and procedures and to nucleate startup villages.”
