Raminfo Launches Initiative iCollab Hub Foundation to Support Startups

iCollab Hub Foundation (iCollab), an initiative by Raminfo, has been launched to support startups in accessing the public procurement ecosystem. Raminfo, a business-to-government (B2G) revenue accelerator, aims through iCollab to bridge the gap between early-stage startups and public sector opportunities by facilitating collaboration between innovators, government bodies, and strategic partners.

iCollab is designed to help startups navigate the complexities of government procurement—an area often seen as challenging but holding significant potential. The initiative targets startups developing innovative solutions, government departments with ongoing needs for public service transformation, and enablers and partners who can accelerate market entry.

The goal is to create a structured ecosystem to unlock value from the public sector, which is recognised as one of the largest markets globally.

The facility spans 25,000 sq. ft. and offers collaborative workspaces for early-stage startups, mentorship and advisory services, and access to Raminfo’s 30+ years of domain expertise.
iCollab assists in proposal development, policy understanding, and eligibility compliance.

It also runs procurement readiness programs and facilitates strategic partnerships to help startups scale revenue and engagement within the public sector.
