"Around 25 technologies are likely to be transferred and around five new technologies are likely to be advertised for transfer in the year 2021," said K.N.Vyas, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and Secretary, Department of Atomic Energy (DAE).

The DAE is inviting emerging entrepreneurs from the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector of the country to participate in this initiative. A couple of months ago, the R&D units of DAE had set up technology incubation centres for incubating the startups and others on the technologies developed by them.
