Chandigarh to host Startup Weekend

Chandigarh is the emerging Cyber City of India.
With many of the engineering graduates opting for entrepreneurship instead of looking for placement, the scene is turning green for the new startups.

Not only that, a diverse conglomerate of organisations are helping create an enabling ecosystem to support the budding entrepreneurs, in which the local successful businessmen and professionals are chipping in their time and resources. But more importantly, they are holding hands of these startups to reach the next level of success.
The newly formed Startup Accelerator Chamber of Commerce (SACC), which is unique in its own right, has completely engaged itself in supporting bright youngsters of Punjab to transform their ideas into business enterprises.
SACC is a not-for-profit chamber which has brought together like-minded entrepreneurs, angle investors, financial institutions, academics, and the community to empower the youth and propel them into the success-orbit.
SACC recently tied up with world's most renowned group of startups, Up Global of Seattle, USA, to organise Startup Weekends regularly in the region and identify bright ideas for entrepreneurship.
The first one is scheduled 25-27 July at the Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC) in Rajiv Gandhi Technology Park at Chandigarh...a 54-hour exciting session spread over the weekend to help people see their ideas metamorphosing into an enterprise.
As a precursor to this event a Boot Camp was organised on 18th July at the EDC which was a huge success.
