About the Program

"Empowering North East Entrepreneurs"

North East India is a vibrant tapestry of culture and potential. With a population of approximately 7 Crores, individuals from the region have a significant reliance on government jobs and public sector employment. As the educated youth population grows, finding alternative employment avenues becomes crucial. In this context, fostering entrepreneurship is an essential solution for creating job opportunities and enhancing the region's socio-economic landscape.

Recognising this, Digi-SAPNE (Startup Acceleration Program for North East) was envisioned to support emerging enterprises, supported by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The region's burgeoning IT/ITeS sector has been growing at nearly double the national average for the past seven years, with innovative ideas in system integration and cloud technology focused on consumer needs. With this nascent startup ecosystem, innovators are working in various sectors including tourism, agri-tech solutions, AI, and other emerging technologies, gaining traction while promoting local products and culture of the region.

Digi - SAPNE aims to empower local innovators by providing essential resources and mentorship. By catalyzing change and nurturing a dynamic startup ecosystem, Digi - SAPNE seeks to redefine the socio-economic fabric of the region and improve the economic narrative of North East India. With this initiative, the North East region is poised to harness the entrepreneurial spirit of its youth and pave the way for a more prosperous future.
