About Government of Manipur

The Government of Manipur launched Startup Manipur under the Manipur Startup Policy 2018 to grow technology-based entrepreneurship across the state. The policy works to strengthen startup culture by setting up incubation centres, providing financial support, and building an enabling environment for at least 1,000 innovators and technology startups, and the state has actively supported entrepreneurs since 2017-18 through investment and policy.

Run as a flagship programme under the Chief Minister's office, Startup Manipur offers seed funding, mentorship, and infrastructure assistance, leaning into the state's strengths in handicrafts, handlooms, agriculture, and tourism while also encouraging technology-driven ventures, and it has established incubation centres that provide physical infrastructure and business-development support to early founders.

First-time founders and innovators in Manipur benefit most, particularly those in sectors aligned with the state's economy, such as agriculture, food processing, handicrafts, and tourism, and the programme is especially relevant for entrepreneurs across the North-East seeking government-backed support. It is online at startupmanipur.in.
