Fab labs provide widespread access to modern means for invention. They began as an outreach project from MIT's Centre for Bits and Atoms (CBA), and became a collaborative and global network. Fab Foundation was Formed in 2009 to facilitate and support the growth of the international fab lab networks as well as the development of regional capacity-building organizations.
The Integrated Industrial Incubation Centre (IIIC) has been established as a joint venture of TATA Technologies, the global engineering service provider, and Jyothi Engineering College (JEC) to enhance the skills of students and it leads to innovation and invention.
