Hyderabad: T-Hub, an initiative of the Telangana government for startups, on Wednesday signed a tripartite MoU with Choose New Jersey, an economic development organisation and VentureLink to collaborate in the areas of startup innovation, funding and entrepreneurship.

Under the agreement, two individuals per startup to be selected based on certain criteria, will get complimentary space for two months in VentureLink, a community hub for technology companies at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a T-Hub statement said.

The MoU will promote technology and investment exchange between New Jersey and India through collaboration between T-Hub, VentureLink, and Choose New Jersey, it said. The tie-up will support joint research and development in the areas of common interest between the parties.

The MoU will provide growth opportunities for the innovation ecosystems of both the geographies.

It will enable Indian start-ups to explore business scaling opportunities in new geographies".
