"The structure of our thinking is determined in our youth — the ideas which we meet at that time or getting into contact with strong personalities from whom we learn."
— Werner HeisenbergCCIE — Centre for Commercialisation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship — bridges the gap between innovation and impact — connecting entrepreneurs with the mentorship, funding, and infrastructure they need to reach their paying customers.
Some of the best ideas and products never see the light of day because their makers are apt to develop them but inept at promoting them. This gap — between innovation and market — is what CCIE was built to close.
CCIE, Centre for Commercialisation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, is a wing under the Centurion Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Facilitation Centre (CSTEFC) — a Section 8 Not-for-Profit company under Centurion University of Technology & Management.
It is the recognised Incubator of Startup Odisha and MSME, Govt. of India, and is a partner and implementing agency for many more schemes and programs.
CSTEFC's path-breaking approach to social impact — through employability skills, entrepreneurship, and enterprise-based solutions — has gathered widespread recognition and laurels.
Officially recognised by Startup Odisha and MSME, Govt. of India — trusted implementing agency for national-level schemes.
Structured as a social vertical under CUTM, ensuring that impact always precedes profit in every program we design.
From seed funding introductions and market research to product development and customer acquisition — we walk the entire journey with you.
More than money, it is the right direction that decides the fate of any entrepreneur. CCIE provides exactly that — through expert mentorship.
