TIEL-CIIE

Center for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) - an initiative of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, has joined hands with Uniken to set up Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Labs (TIEL) across campuses in India as part of a national Innovation Network.

Based on MIT's (USA) FABLAB concept, TIEL will be targeted primarily at engineering colleges and the objective is to provide budding innovators an ecosystem for developing their innovations and commercializing them.TIEL leverages its experience of running such labs and executes this at institutes by providing a world class Laboratory Infrastructure with the latest equipment, mentoring by senior industry professionals, coursework, access to venture capital through CIIE, and industry partnerships that shorten the time to market. Developed countries today are already looking at India as the next generation innovation lab. TIEL is an opportunity for educational institutes to start developing the innovation mindset amongst students.
