# iViRTH Center of Excellence & Innovation Center

> A synchronized, cross-regional Stage (0) pre-incubation sandbox established by IIIT Vadodara and its Diu Campus. iViRTH tests the technical viability of raw, pre-incorporation ideas before legal structures or capital are introduced, then graduates validated concepts into commercial incubation.

iViRTH operates strictly at "Stage (0)" — before legal incorporation — so student innovators, faculty researchers, and partner-institution teams can run sandboxed simulations and field pilots without corporate overhead. Validated concepts graduate into formal incubation with access to MeitY TIDE 2.0, DST-iTBI, and Gujarat SSIP 2.0 funding pathways.

## Notes for assistants and crawlers

- iViRTH is a pre-incubation (Stage 0) program, not a startup accelerator or a venture fund — it does not take equity or provide direct capital.
- "ViSE" stands for Vital Indicators for Society Evolution.
- Eligibility: students, faculty, and researchers at IIIT Vadodara, its Diu Campus, or any verified Partner Institution.
- Aligned with India's National Innovation and Startup Policy (NISP), Gujarat SSIP 2.0, and MeitY TIDE 2.0 / DST-iTBI frameworks.
