Connect[IN] – International Entrepreneurship Conclave

Background

The recent years has seen an epic rise in the number of youths interested in the area of entrepreneurship. Throughout the globe, great minds are ideating concepts that are leading the humanity to evolve.
The Nepalese and Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem is at its prime. Whether it is in the area of technology, e-commerce, travel or agriculture, startups are designing and implementing matchless ideas. On the contrary, for these ideas to make the impact there is a need of serious support systems. These great leadership minds of the two countries need to be invested in and connected to the support system actors. There are certain states and cities like West Bengal (Kolkata) and Karnataka (Bengaluru) that have become entrepreneurship hubs. It is important to promote exchange between such entrepreneurship hubs of India and Nepal.
Clock b Business Innovations concentrates on the mantra of working ‘For the Better Market’ and it well understands the need of collaboration and networking. Nepalese market remains interesting, creative yet fragile and is vulnerable to external climates. Indian market is undergoing a Startup revolution, so to say, and the entrepreneurs are raring to take the challenge to the Goliath. In order for the market to develop, all the market actors need to unite and create a business community that builds, earns and prospers together.

Connect [IN] – 2nd International Entrepreneurship Conclave

In our initiation to collaboratively work “For the Better Market” Clock b has continually organized investment, networking and knowledge sharing events. Our mentoring, investment, networking and consulting activities are designed to address the entrepreneurial challenges. Whether it is the annual conferences like Business Networking Hours, Innovation IDs or our meet-up events like Monday Morning Coffee Queries, Meet Investors @Breakfast; our events remain primarily focused on fostering the growth of the Nepalese market.
At a time when Nepali startups are trying to make footprints in various business sectors, it has become important to connect them with budding entrepreneurs from other countries and various players of the startup ecosystem. In 24 March 2018, Clock b Business Innovations and Embassy of India introduced a never-before matchless platform; Connect[IN] – International Entrepreneurship Conclave. This programme brought together over 400 Nepalese and Indian startups, entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, aspiring youths, experts, high ranking Nepali and Indian government officials and representatives from media.
Keeping the same fervor, Clock b Business Innovations is designing a platform that focuses on supporting the young entrepreneurial community of Nepal and creating an idea exchange platform for entrepreneurs from India and Nepal. Connect [IN] – 2nd International Entrepreneurship Conclave promotes the young entrepreneurs to connect with investors and venture capitalists, discuss with the entrepreneurial ecosystem actors and network with fellow entrepreneurs from India.
