Ideation - Innovation - Incubation
Established in 2013, Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) is one of the creative hubs of Parul University formed to support students and aspiring entrepreneurs in their entrepreneurial endeavors. EDC was established with an aim to foster the culture of Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in students and faculty members of the university. In 2015, the university registered a Section 8 company, Parul Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research Center (PIERC) as an incubator to formally extend its services and support to start-ups; from Idea Stage to Growth Stage. PIERC comprises a dedicated team of Incubation Managers and staff members that work towards developing the start-up and entrepreneurship ecosystem of the university and region. With the support from PIERC, a large number of entrepreneurs have successfully taken their startups to new heights.
