Abstract

The best solution to solve a problem of unemployment, in country like India, is to have as many Job Creators as possible, so we need Entrepreneurs. Various Government and Non Government agencies are doing lot of work to promote Entrepreneurship. Particularly Government of India is doing great work to promote Techno Entrepreneurship by providing support through various agencies under the umbrella of Department of Science and Technology (DST). Even it has established National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board under DST. In this paper we will try to give information and study, mainly exploratory, related to these support activities to convert Techno-innovation to Techno Entrepreneurship by keeping main focus on Technology Business Incubation approach in India. Here we are trying to give conceptual model to establish relationship between Techno Innovation and Techno Entrepreneurship. And this will be substantiated by various Techno Innovation and Techno Entrepreneurship illustrations of real life. Here, the major focus is given to Technology Business Incubation approach to support and create Techno Entrepreneurship from Techno-innovation. This paper will show a research gap, in the context of India, in the area of Techno-entrepreneurship through Technology Business Incubation.
