Several technology experts have evinced keen interest to offer their services to innovators. To facilitate the closer bonding, Ministry of Science & Technology will be maintaining a panel of `Technology Angels? (TA).
Scope
Independent innovators need extended hand holding and technical experts dedicated to the cause are required to spend considerable amount of time and effort to educate innovators about theoretical background of their innovations, guide them to prepare a feasible action plan and assist them in implementation.
A panel of 50 Technology Angels in various disciplines with wide geographic spread will be selected by TSC and they will be referred proposals from TUCs/ DSIR.
The expert will maintain confidence and sign NDA with TePP.
The Technology Angels addresses will be placed on TePP web pages.
Compensation
Wherever the proposal is referred to the Technology Angel by DSIR from Delhi or by TUC , they will be paid honorarium as per applicable rules. Also, where there is need for a visit, they will be paid TA/DA as per rules.
The Technology Angels can provide technical consultancy to innovators at mutually agreed terms between the Angel and the Innovator. When such an agreement forms part of the proposal submitted by the innovator to TePP, then on approval of support to such a project, TePP will make direct payment to Technology Angel for the technical consultancy.
Intellectual property rights will remain with Innovator.
Technology Angel will enter into a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with TePP.
