Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Cell

 

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Cell is a body within IIIT Guwahati formed of students and faculty to systematically foster the culture of innovation and the start-up ecosystem in IIIT Guwahati. I&E's role is to engage a large number of faculty, students, and staff within IIIT Guwahati in various innovation and entrepreneurship-related activities such as ideation, problem-solving, proof of concept development, design thinking, IPR, project handling, and management at pre-incubation. The I&E cell is currently working towards establishing the first incubation centre at IIIT Guwahati to accommodate budding student entrepreneurs. The I&E cell, as part of its social and scientific responsibility, organizes regular workshops, speaker-led talk sessions (TEDx), case study competitions, and hackathons. The flagship event of the I&E cell is Inizio, which is an annual E-Summit organized as a two-to-three-day event that serves as the biggest platform for students to see what innovation and entrepreneurship have in store for them. The I&E cell works in close cooperation with the MoE's IIC and NISP to promote start-ups and SMEs at HEIs.
