The government should set up incubation centres for start-up software entrepreneurs, said the Managing Director of Unique Soft Pro, D. Prabha here at a press meet on Tuesday.

Fresh from her recent trip to Israel with the Andhra Pradesh government's IT delegation, she said that she visited about 1,500 IT firms in that country, and got a good response in the areas such as software development, ITES business and web designing.

The delegation was led by the State's IT and Communication Minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah and Principal Secretary for IT Ajay Mishra.

The MD of Unique Soft pointed out that the government should take a cue from the Israeli government, as it supports start-ups by establishing incubation centres within the city limits.

“The opportunity for B2B business is very high with Israel and small and developing software companies should explore this area,” said Ms. Prabha.
