The SELCO Foundation established its Incubation Centre in 2014 with a primary focus on supporting energy enterprises to address the needs of underserved communities. Designed as a hands-on and customized initiative, the incubation program aims to assist energy access enterprises in developing grassroots business processes. In 2019, the SELCO Foundation set up an Incubation Centre in the North East region, supported by Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, Government of India. The AIC-SELCO Foundation Incubation Center, based in Guwahati, Assam, aims to foster inclusive development in the region by encouraging local innovators and energy enterprises. The primary objective of the AIC-SELCO Foundation Incubation Center is to enhance the capacity of potential local energy enterprises through the provision of management expertise, intellectual capital, and hands-on support. By doing so, the center aims to empower these enterprises to innovate and deliver energy-based solutions to the needs of low-income communities in the North-Eastern region of the country.
