Incubation & Mentoring
Structured guidance for innovators, startups and companies to refine ideas, assess feasibility, identify risks and build an execution roadmap.
A professional platform for innovation-led growth
Shirom Innovation Trust supports innovators, startups and companies with structured incubation, domain mentorship, research enablement, capital access and commercialisation guidance.
About SIT
Shirom Innovation Trust has been conceived as a professional body that assists people and companies working on new ideas, technologies and solutions. The Trust provides incubation guidance, expert review and support pathways so that promising innovations can be taken beyond concept stage.
SIT works with a team of experts from varied domains and maintains access to a wider advisory board. This allows the Trust to bring specialised expertise into a project when a particular technical, legal, financial, operational or market-entry question needs deeper attention.
