Startup Manipur

The Government of Manipur has initiated the 'Startup Manipur' program with the objective of promoting sustainable economic growth and generating significant employment opportunities in the state. Under the Manipur Startup Policy 2018, several incubation centers have been established by the state government to promote the growth of a minimum of 1,000 technology-based innovative startups throughout the state by August 14, 2022. The goal of the program is to empower the youth of Manipur to become job creators by fostering entrepreneurship and innovation culture and providing a supportive ecosystem to nurture and develop startups, making Manipur a leading startup destination in the North East. The government is working to enhance the enabling environment to meet the aspirations of young entrepreneurs and intends to collaborate with all stakeholders to establish a robust startup ecosystem through appropriate incubation and mentoring infrastructure, expedited statutory support, and a network of suitable funding mechanisms.
