North East Entrepreneurship Fellowship
“NEEF is designed to help existing entrepreneurs improve the viability of their product and market strategy”
History
At the fifth edition of the Young Leaders Connect meeting at Itanagar in 2016, the idea of establishing the North East Entrepreneurship Fellowship was deliberated and decided. This was an outcome from the feedback received from the many North-East who attended the meet. There was unanimous voice on the immediate need for a platform for exposure, mentorship and guidance of the local entrepreneurs.
North East Entrepreneurship Fellowship (NEEF) came to fruition in partnership with local state leaders, entrepreneurs, academicians, knowledge experts and partners. NELC is keen to address the soft challenges of exposure, knowledge dissemination, skill sets and networking for the entrepreneurs from the northeast through this very platform.
