The partnership combines Unicorn Incubator’s access to research and development networks in Seoul with BFI’s funding capabilities to support deployment and scaling.

Additionally, the initiative is expected to focus on key areas such as advanced medical technologies, including AI-based diagnostics, robotic systems, and biomedical solutions.

The organisation has previously supported startups across sectors such as mobility, agritech, and medtech, and collaborates with institutions including FITT IIT Delhi, SIIC IIT Kanpur, and IIM Lucknow EIC.

As per reports, the operational support for the project is expected to be facilitated by the Korea-India Tech Sangam Center, which manages cross-border technology transfer, and the Tech Marwari initiative, which connects South Korean firms with Indian talent for local execution and scaling.
