Local chapter of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry jointly with TiE is organising a Start-up Conclave here on March 11.

The JumpStart2017 will showcase speakers from a wide array of domains like technology, funding, banking, food and dairy, representing a heterogeneous group of entrepreneurs and professionals, chamber president Vanitha Mohan told reporters here today.

With Coimbatore being one of the most fertile grounds for entrepreneurship, the outcome of the conclave will be a first step towards many goals to foster entrepreneurship in the city, she said.

The time is right to launch such initiatives as the government too is very actively promoting start-up and small business, TiE Coimbatore president G Karthikeyan said.
 

To begin with an Incubation Centre will be set up at the Chamber to assist the young entrepreneurs, Vanitha said, adding about 600 persons, majority being students, are expected to participate in the conclave.
