The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IEDC) is a flagship initiative of the Kerala Startup Mission, designed to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within educational institutions across Kerala. As an overarching program, the IEDC aims to be a transformative force in fostering innovation within academic settings.
The objectives of the IEDC are:
To foster an innovation-driven entrepreneurial mindset among students.
To support the development of commercially viable products and solutions created by students.
To nurture entrepreneurial skills among aspiring tech-entrepreneurs, contributing to job creation and economic growth.
To strengthen collaboration between industry and academia.
To provide financial support and resources to emerging entrepreneurs, embedding an entrepreneurial spirit within academic communities.
Established in 2024, the SCAS IEDC has quickly become a robust platform for students to enhance their soft and technical skills, develop innovative ideas, and gain exposure to entrepreneurship. Monthly programs are organized to promote student start-ups, patent development, and entrepreneurial ventures, with IEDC providing funding for quality projects to help students turn ideas into prototypes. A dedicated executive committee oversees event planning and execution. Currently, the IEDC at SCAS boasts over 100 active student members, each contributing to and benefiting from this dynamic ecosystem.
