ME-RIISE FOUNDATION
Furthering its objectives beyond education MCE undertook to create social and economic impact in the Hassan region by supporting innovations and start-ups in the field of agriculture, education and technology in the year 2018. Thus, Malnad Enclave for Research, Innovation, Incubation, Start-ups and Entrepreneurship (ME-RIISE) was formed by MCE in the year 2018 to initiate its above mentioned objectives supported by Management, Teaching staff and Students. Over the years, ME-RIISE has orchestrated more than 100 events and initiatives, resulting in significant benefits for over 3000 students. Through these endeavours, ME-RIISE has successfully supported in bringing out eight innovative prototypes and created nine new applications.
As a step towards further expanding its reach and enhancing its impact, ME-RIISE has set up a distinct entity, a Section 8 company, ME-RIISE FOUNDATION promoted by Malnad College of Engineering in September, 2022. This Section 8 company is composed of 5 Directors and 2 Advisors. ME-RIISE FOUNDATION is committed to promote innovation, incubation, start-ups, and entrepreneurship in the region and expand its reach, enabling students/ youth and aspiring entrepreneurs to realize their potential and contribute towards the growth of the economy. ME-RIISE FOUNDATION is committed to build upon the legacy of innovative activities established by ME-RIISE and further expanding its scope. In order to realize its vision, the foundation will work in collaboration with Malnad College of Engineering (MCE) to promote innovation, incubation, start-ups, and entrepreneurship.
