Each winning proposal will receive structured incubation support from ICAR ( ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Technology)  (National Fisheries Development Board) NFDB, or other affiliated institutions under the Department of Fisheries. These incubators will play a crucial role in mentoring startups, offering capacity-building programs, and providing access to manufacturing infrastructure to help them scale their solutions effectively.

The NFDP Mobile Application was launched during the Fisheries Startup Conclave 2.0 to expand access to Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana( PM-MKSSY)  benefits.

Background: India's fisheries and aquaculture sector sustains 3 crore livelihoods, driving employment across the value chain. Since 2015, the Government has invested ?38,572 crore through various initiatives and schemes to promote sustainable growth. This rapid expansion has spurred the rise of over 300 fisheries start-ups, which are leveraging blockchain, IoT, and AI to develop innovative, commercially viable solutions that enhance productivity, ensure traceability, and improve value chain efficiencies.  To address the fisheries' value chain challenges through innovative technology solutions, a set of problem statements have been identified that focus on developing nutritious and affordable aquaculture feeds from sustainable sources, enhancing aquaculture sustainability through AI-powered precision farming, building resilient and inclusive seafood supply chains, minimizing waste while maximizing value in the seafood industry, and integrating traditional knowledge with modern technology for sustainable fisheries. Another endeavour of Department of Fisheries (GoI) towards digital transformation in the fisheries sector was the launch of National Fisheries Digital Platform (NFDP) by Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Hon'ble Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying and Ministry of Panchayati Raj in September 2024.
