Welcome to the Centre for Digital Inclusion and Social Impact (CeDISI), where we champion industry connect as a cornerstone for sustainable growth, particularly for research, innovation, MSMEs, youth, and women entrepreneurs. As a non-profit organization, CeDISI is dedicated to bridging the gap between various sectors to foster collaboration, drive innovation, and empower individuals and businesses to thrive in the digital era.

At CeDISI, we facilitate industry connections to promote inclusive and sustainable growth, particularly focusing on research, innovation, MSMEs, youth, and women entrepreneurship. We believe that by fostering meaningful connections between different stakeholders, we can unlock opportunities for economic empowerment and social impact.

Why Industry Connect Matters: Industry Connect plays a pivotal role in driving sustainable growth across multiple dimensions:

1. Research and Innovation: Collaboration between industry and research accelerates innovation by providing access to resources, expertise, and real-world challenges, leading to the development of groundbreaking solutions and technologies.

2. Empowering MSMEs: Industry Connect opens doors for MSMEs to access markets, technologies, and funding opportunities, enabling them to scale their businesses, create jobs, and contribute to economic growth.

3. Youth Empowerment: For young entrepreneurs, students and aspiring professionals, Industry Connect offers invaluable opportunities for mentorship, networking, and hands-on learning, empowering them to unleash their potential and pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.

4. Women Entrepreneurship: Industry Connect plays a transformative role in advancing women's entrepreneurship by providing access to networks, skills development programs, and financing options, thereby bridging gender gaps and promoting inclusive growth.

Our Approach: CeDISI adopts a holistic approach to promoting industry Connect for sustainable growth:

1. Research projects: We do research-based projects for industry stakeholders, research institutions, government agencies, and other organizations to identify synergies and foster collaboration.

2. Capacity Building: We offer capacity-building programs, training workshops, and mentorship opportunities to equip individuals and MSMEs with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to thrive in the digital economy.

3. Innovation Ecosystem Support: We support the development of innovation ecosystems by facilitating knowledge exchange, technology transfer, and entrepreneurship development initiatives.

4. Industry Roundtable and Engagement: We organise industry roundtables for discussion and initiatives that promote industry collaboration for education, skill development, entrepreneurship, and gender equality to create an enabling environment for sustainable growth.

We invite institutions, innovators, MSMEs, youth, women entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders to join us in our mission to foster industry connections for sustainable growth. Together, we can build a more inclusive, resilient, and prosperous society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
