IIT Kanpur Elevates C3iHub to Technology Translational Research Park

The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur’s C3iHub has been upgraded to a Technology Translational Research Park (TTRP) by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. Among the select institutions chosen under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), C3iHub has been designated to host one of these prestigious TTRPs with a dedicated focus on cybersecurity.

This recognition follows a rigorous evaluation by the Mission Governing Board of NM-ICPS, which approved IIT Kanpur’s proposal for its strategic vision and capabilities in cybersecurity. The TTRP at IIT Kanpur will drive the development of cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies, foster deep-tech startups, and strengthen industry-academia collaboration to translate research into real-world impact.

This announcement was made during a review meeting by the Union Minister of State for Science and Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh. This development  India’s commitment to advancing cutting-edge technological innovations for both societal and commercial applications.

The TTRP initiative is aimed at transforming cutting-edge research into market-ready solutions. By upgrading existing Technology Innovation Hubs (TIHs) like C3iHub into Technology Translational Research Parks, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) seeks to strengthen collaboration between academia, industry, and startups, fostering a more robust innovation ecosystem.

“This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to pioneering research and innovation in cybersecurity. The enhanced support will further accelerate the translation of cutting-edge research into impactful, market-ready solutions and strengthen our role in advancing national cybersecurity capabilities. I congratulate the entire C3iHub team on this well-deserved achievement,” said Prof. Manindra Agrawal, Director, IIT Kanpur.

As a Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), C3iHub has been at the forefront of enhancing national cybersecurity by safeguarding critical infrastructure, ensuring data privacy and integrity, and monitoring emerging cyber threats. With its elevation to a Technology Translational Research Park (TTRP), C3iHub is poised to drive cutting-edge innovation in cybersecurity advancing research, empowering deep-tech startups, and nurturing the next generation of talent.
