Galgotias Ideathon

Galgotias Ideathon!

Galgotias Incubation Center for Research Innovation Startups & Entrepreneurs (GICRISE) will host Galgotias Ideathon, a two-day Ideathon event, on March 4-5, 2025. This intensive brainstorming session brings together individuals with diverse backgrounds, skills, and interests to tackle predefined challenges, pinpoint the best opportunities, and generate the most viable solutions. The participating young innovators, often driven by a passion for creating impactful solutions, have the potential to significantly contribute to social welfare and economic development. However, achieving success necessitates a platform to showcase their ideas.

Galgotias Ideathon is specifically crafted to assist young talents from rural and semi-urban regions of Uttar Pradesh in developing innovative solutions for community-related challenges. Participants will have the opportunity to form teams and utilize creative learning methods to brainstorm and collaborate on potential solutions.

The event aims to support selected innovative ideas by offering them the chance to be incubated at GICRISE. Additionally, the top three ideas will receive cash prizes to help boost their morale.

Under the visionary guidance and mentorship of Hon’ble Chancellor Mr. Suneel Galgotia and Hon’ble CEO, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, GIC RISE is thrilled to host Galgotias Ideathon on March 4-5, 2025.

We are excited to announce iHub-AWaDH, IIT Ropar as our Co-Partner, bringing a strong commitment to invest in Agri-Tech and Water-Tech startups and extend support through their SPRINT Programs to nurture early-stage innovators.

This event will bring together young innovators, startups, and visionaries under one roof for collaboration, innovation, and growth.
