Having championed local entrepreneurs through its flagship initiative PRIME for the past seven years, the Meghalaya government is now gearing up for a new Startup Policy aimed at keeping pace with emerging sectors and startup needs.
An official said that the new policy is in the anvil, as the government engages with entrepreneurs and ecosystem stakeholders in a series of dialogues to craft the next big leap.
Planning Department Secretary Cyril V Diengdoh said Meghalaya must now shift from grant-led entrepreneurship to scalable, innovation-driven enterprise building – a sentiment that set the tone for a high-level Roundtable Conference organised by PRIME Meghalaya on Thursday.
