The US Consulate General in partnership with Global India Fund organised a two-day TechCamp for emerging entrepreneurs in Coimbatore.
Thirty-two emerging entrepreneurs, including 20 women, took part in the camp. Four experts from India and the US led interactive training to take their enterprises to the next level, the organisers said in a release.
Lauren Lovelace, Consul for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, at the US Consulate in Chennai inaugurated the camp.
“The United States seeks to support a dynamic environment for innovators and start-ups — a start-up ecosystem that empowers innovators, particularly women and first-generation entrepreneurs, to take their ideas and businesses to the next level. These are goals shared by both the United States and Indian governments at the 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Summit,” she said.
The participants were awarded certificates on completion of the session and urged to remain connected with one another.
The US State Department has conducted more than 60 TechCamps training over the last eight years. More than 3,200 participants from 110 countries have been trained till now.
This TechCamp is the second in the series for emerging entrepreneurs in South India. The first such camp was held in Chennai last year. The effort is in furtherance of US-India aspirations with an emphasis on “Women First, Prosperity for All.”
