The Coffee Board of India in its continuous endeavour to encourage entrepreneurship in the coffee sector has taken one more step forward by establishing an Atal Incubation Centre (AIC) by enabling the collaboration between Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI) and Atal Innovation Mission (AIM). The incubation centre will be called the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development. The Coffee Board of India wishes to not only create opportunities for entrepreneurs and create opportunities for employment but also provide a platform to address the critical challenges of the Coffee Sector through the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development.
The AIC – CCRI Incubation centre will be located in Coffee Board’s Office in Bengaluru with Incubatee work spaces, conference rooms, a laboratory which will enable post-harvest innovations in coffee and related aspects. A plan is also being developed for having a Centre for Entrepreneurship Development unit in a coffee growing area for the developing entrepreneurship in production and processing related aspects.
