Startup Village, India’s first telecom hub, is offering opportunities to engineering students to hatch their innovative ideas into reality.
The initiative was launched in association with the Kerala chapter of IEEE Communication Society (ComSoc) to identify innovative projects in communication technologies and applications drawn up by students.
The programme is to ignite the passion for technology among students and also to transform the young talents of Kerala into entrepreneurs.
“We are covering all the 164 engineering colleges in the State in this drive to spot the bright minds and novel ideas that can be the game changers tomorrow,” Mr Sijo Kuruvilla George, CEO, Startup Village, said.
The selected teams will be given partial funding, technical guidance, and access to Startup Village technologies, including open BTS, Balloon Mapping, Twine etc for their project developments.
They will also get an opportunity to showcase their innovation to Mr S. Gopalakrishnan, co-founder of Infosys, who is one of the Chief Mentors of Startup Village.
Another feature of the programme is that interested students will get access to latest Blackberry devices and services to test their project design and applications.
Blackberry has recently opened an innovation zone called Rubus Labs at Startup Village to promote application development in the BB10 platform.
