The TCE Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) serves as a hub for fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry collaboration among students and faculty. This initiative plays a vital role in bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world business practices, enabling students to develop entrepreneurial skills and industry-readiness. TCE E-Cell collaborates with industries for internships, projects, and expert insights, while offering skill development programs and hands-on learning opportunities. These efforts aim to inspire innovation and empower students to turn ideas into successful ventures. The TCE Technology Business Incubator (TBI) provides critical support to the TCE E-Cell by fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem. It offers infrastructure, mentorship, and funding opportunities to help students and early-stage start-ups turn their innovative ideas into viable businesses. TBI collaborates with the E-Cell in organizing workshops, bootcamps, and networking events while providing access to prototyping facilities like the TCE Makerspace. Additionally, it facilitates connections with industry experts, venture capitalists, and government funding schemes, ensuring holistic support for aspiring entrepreneurs. This synergy enables the TCE E-Cell to nurture innovation and encourage impactful start-up ventures.
