AIC T-Hub Semiconductor Program

Where Semiconductors Transform Silicon into Innovation

Looking for a foundry connection to fabricate your chips?
The ChipIN team at T-Hub can assist you in fabricating your chips.

About AIC Semiconductor Cohort -4

The AIC T-Hub Semiconductor Accelerator – Cohort 4 is a sector-specific program dedicated to empowering semiconductor startups with a PoC /  MVP and beyond.

The program provides startups with access to MPW shuttle services, semiconductor foundries, EDA software tools, evaluation platforms, and expert mentorship from serial entrepreneurs and research institutions. Founders will gain market access, government linkages with ISM & MeitY, industry collaborations, funding opportunities, and support to scale semiconductor innovations from concept to market.

Hosted by AIC T-Hub Foundation – a joint initiative of Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog, and T-Hub – India’s leading innovation hub, this cohort is designed to build a robust semiconductor ecosystem and accelerate India’s journey toward self-reliance in the semiconductor sector.
