The accelerator has already incubated more than 300 startups with a success rate of 86 percent. This has facilitated trade and business services in the region.

Punjab has evolved as a start-up for food and agriculture. With close proximity to Punjab, World Trade Center  Chandigarh is leveraging government platforms such as Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana, Pradhanmantri Gram Sinchai Yojana, etc. to drive future growth in the sector. A value-based agro market in Tricity by World Trade Center's Association agricultural committee in association with agro-industry bodies will further bolster the farming market in Punjab.
