The Innovation Center applies the right management practice to the types of ideas depending on their mode of innovation category. With this vision clear in mind, the Center establishes the following two routs for managing the types of innovation projects that are categorized as technological innovations.


Route 1: The Direct Patenting Route for incremental innovation types of projects.


Route 2: The Proof-of Concept Route for break-through innovation type of projects.


On the other hand, the other types of innovation that are categorized as entrepreneurial business concepts could follow Routes 3 and 4. Route 3 gives the chance for the entrepreneurs who don’t have ready business plans for implementing their ideas to get assistance from the Business Development & Market Intelligence Unit in preparing their business plans and in establishing their initial feasibility studies and market surveys. Route 4 is designed for the entrepreneurs who have proved products and ready-to-launch business projects.
