SAC Centre for Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Incubation

SACCEII is a unit of St. Anthony’s College formed as a faculty- student’s organization under PRIME Government of Meghalaya primarily dedicated to complement the entrepreneurial spirit in the young minds as well as provide a platform to tap the opportunities and nurture and develop an aspiring idea into a business venture. Our core objective is to foster and facilitate innovation and entrepreneurship among the faculty and students through mentoring, training and financing. The thrust is on innovation and incubation so as to transform a seemingly simple and novel idea into a marketable product, and thus help an innovator of today to become an entrepreneur of tomorrow. Besides this core idea, SACCEII also has the following objectives: • To act as a core agency to implement the various entrepreneurship promotion activities at the institution. • To create awareness on entrepreneurship- the varied challenges and its role towards economic growth and development. • To encourage students through various awareness and capacity building programmes to take entrepreneurship as a preferred career choice. • To nurture innovation and inculcate problem-solving mindset through different thinking methodologies and collaborative and participatory engagement. • To connect the enthusiastic students’ ideas/ innovations to different funding agencies and other important stakeholders. • To coordinate with different agencies (Government and Private) to implement various Entrepreneurship Promotion and Development Programmes.
