Technology Incubation Centre (TIC), Benin established in 1999 is an Agency of National Board for Technology Incubation(NBTI) a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology. The programme was established by Act 5, of 1995 and the Board was constituted in November, 2005 to formulate policy guidelines for the smooth running of the programme.
The programme is a veritable Institutionalism mechanism for commercialization of Research and Development (R&D) results. It is an integrated support programme designed to assist budding entrepreneurs in the development of new technology-based firms from start-up to commercializable end - products. It seeks to effectively link talent, technology, capital and know-how to leverage entrepreneurial talent in order to accelerate development of new companies and speedy commercialization of R&D innovations. It also helps to promote personal initiative, creativity, risk-taking and entrepreneurship.
