For over two decades, the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) has been at the forefront of developing and deploying plasma technologies to benefit society. To further this mission, we have established the Atal Incubation Centre ‘AIC – IPR Plasmatech Innovation Foundation’ in December 2023. This initiative, approved by the Department of Atomic Energy and supported by Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog, New Delhi, aims to translate cutting-edge plasma technologies from lab to market, fostering deeptech startups in India.
