- Scalability: The project should have the potential to grow across significant market sectors and within multiple verticals or layers.
- Status: Either entrepreneurs with prototypes/proof of concept or startups can apply.
- Dedication: The project/startup cannot be incubated in another incubator or accelerator simultaneously with TIEC.
- Projects/startups that did not pass the pitching phase can reapply only one more time after two rounds from their first pitch, provided they have addressed the judges’ comments that led to their rejection and validated their product/solution.
