COVID-19 Fightback Initiative at C-CAMP
COVID-19 pandemic has created a havoc across the world with its ramifications poised to surpass any catastrophe in our living memory. We are staring at staggering socio-economic losses if the pandemic is not curbed on war footing. The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP), being the leading hub of deeptech Life Sciences innovation and entrepreneurship in India, joined nationwide fightback efforts by setting up a platform named C-CAMP COVID-19 Innovations Deployment Accelerator (C-CIDA). The idea behind this deployment accelerator is to identify promising start-ups with deployment ready or near-ready solutions that have a high potential for impact in our COVID-19 fightback. Many of the promising start-ups identified through C-CIDA are leveraging advanced digital and AI/ML technologies for fighting COVID-19 pandemic and hence are relevant and aligned with the objectives of TIDE 2.0 G2C at C-CAMP. A brief note on C-CIDA platform was shared with the MeitY team in April 2020.
