These are intensive product plus business strategy development sessions conducted by the TIME² team. SPACE sessions enable the key decision-makers of your company to strategize with scientists, designers, engineers, customers, investors and other stakeholders.

We come together and explore new path-breaking ideas, assess for feasibility, sustainability, viability and desirability and crystalize a strategic execution road map to pursue as a collaborative engagement. We employ various thinking tools, creative visualizations and business frameworks to explore, expand and evaluate strategic possibilities arising from synergistic multiplication of strengths of your business network and IISc.  The series of sessions that are typically spread over 5 days are worth their weight in gold as they take you through the whole innovation continuum to the point of arriving at an actual plan of action.  

By the end of the sessions, we get clarity on what markets to pursue, what platform technologies to develop along with product roadmaps, and a good estimation of the team and resources required. Key techno-commercial decisions are taken, and in many cases, partnerships are established paving the way for future engagements.

In PDP we work on the design and development of a product and hand it over to the industry for commercialization. This program is designed for companies who want only a marketable product without investing in their own capability to make proprietary products. Though this is south of our mission to make companies Atmanirbhar, it does make sense in the life cycle of certain businesses. We typically take it up with minimal technical support from the industry and full sponsorship. This provides us the opportunity to develop talent, work with LEAP Network professionals and gives the industry a taste of the strength of science, technology & design fueled business growth.

The flagship program of Time ² offers industries the opportunity to collaborate with IISc and create a disruptive innovation to leapfrog their business to the next orbit.
