Thanks to a generous gift from the Vivek and Vandana family Foundation, the Center for Emerging Markets (CEM) is proud to be part of India’s buzzing startup scene by supporting and strengthening SmartIDEAthon—which may well be one of India’s biggest social innovation pitchfests. 

SMartIDEAthon 2022 was organized by GITAM Deemed University’s Venture Development Centre, Northeastern University Center for Entrepreneurship Education (NUCEE), Northeastern University’s Center for Emerging Markets, and Startup India, the flagship national agency to promote entrepreneurship. CEM was able to add two additional prizes to this year’s competition, i.e. an expense-paid trip for members of two winning teams to Boston to learn first-hand about the city’s vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem.
