Tata Sons Chairman Emeritus and noted industrialist Ratan Tata will inaugurate the country's largest technology incubator center 'T-Hub' here on September 7, a senior Telangana official said today.

"Our Technology Incubation centre 'T-Hub' which is meant to promote start-ups and innovators is going to be inaugurated on September 7 by Rata Tata," Secretary, Information & Communications Technology (ITC), Jayesh Ranjan told reporters.

"The first phase of T-hub, country's biggest technology incubation centre, spread over 60,000 square feet will accommodate 800 start-ups. And in 2018 when we are hosting World IT Congress in Hyderabad, we want to be ready with the second phase of T-Hub, which would be much more bigger one with built-up space of 300,000 sq ft and can host 5,000 start-ups," he said.
 

Telangana is going to become one of the leading states in the country which will promote innovations, he said.

Telangana government is taking up the country's biggest technology incubator with collaborative efforts from the Indian School of Business (ISB), the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-Hyderabad) and NALSAR University of Law besides various other organisations.

These institutions would assist start ups with management, technology and legal aspects of setting up and running a venture.
