Student Start-up and Innovation Policy (SSIP) is a unique initiative of the Government of Gujarat that aims to create an integrated, state-wide, university and institute-based innovation ecosystem to support innovations and ideas of young students and provide a positive environment for properly harnessing their creative pursuit. This policy is in synchronization with central efforts like the Make in India, Startup India, Atal Innovation Mission, National Innovation Council etc. It has the following key objectives-

Build internal capacity of educational institutions and key components of the innovation ecosystem.
Create pathways for the mind to market.
Create a common platform to showcase, support and upscale innovations for motivating stakeholders as well as for an opportunity to create value for money and value for many.
