IILM University Partners with Japan's Beyond Next Ventures to Launch a DeepTech Innovation Lab for Student Startups
Big news from IILM University! 🚀
We are proud to announce our partnership with Beyond Next Ventures India, one of Japan's leading deeptech venture capital funds.
This collaboration marks the beginning of a new chapter for innovation at IILM with the launch of a fully structured IILM Innovation Lab, designed to help students and faculty transform breakthrough ideas into real-world ventures.
Here's what this partnership brings:
• A structured pre-incubation engine where ideas evolve into validated business models, early-stage prototypes, and scalable startups.
• A Venture Building Elective that takes entrepreneurship beyond theory by integrating hands-on company creation into the classroom.
• Direct VC mentorship—not just guest lectures, but access to real venture-building playbooks, investment thinking, industry networks, and founder-focused guidance from experienced investors.
• A Japan–India Innovation Corridor, connecting IILM with Japanese university partners to foster deeptech collaboration, research, innovation, and international immersion opportunities.
The future of deeptech innovation will be built in universities that empower researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs with the right ecosystem—and we're excited to help create that future.
More details on how students and faculty can become part of the IILM Innovation Lab will be announced soon.
The next generation of innovators starts here.
