FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about the National Entrepreneurship Summit.
How does sponsoring NES provide access to technical talent from NIT Rourkela and beyond?
NES attracts over 3,000+ students from NIT Rourkela and invited institutes across Eastern and Central India, including top engineering, design, and management students. Sponsors gain direct interaction through dedicated talent-connect sessions, the Internship and Freelancing Fair, and workshop participation. This creates a recruitment pipeline for interns, project collaborators, and future hires with entrepreneurial mindsets and strong technical capabilities.
Can our brand organize customized challenges or competitions aligned with our industry focus?
Absolutely. We facilitate sponsor-branded Hackathons, Case Competitions, and Design Challenges tailored to your domain—whether in fintech, sustainability, AI, manufacturing, or any sector. These events position your brand as an innovation partner while providing direct access to fresh, actionable ideas and potential recruitment or incubation opportunities from participant teams.
Are there opportunities to showcase our products or services directly to attendees?
Yes. We offer dedicated stalls or experience zones where sponsors can conduct product demos, prototype showcases, and tech walkthroughs. This provides valuable opportunities to collect user feedback, generate beta sign-ups, and gather on-ground market insights from an engaged, tech-savvy audience eager to explore innovative solutions.
Can we engage with specific NES events rather than sponsoring the entire summit?
Yes. We offer event-specific sponsorship for Startup Elevate, Pitch Arena, Visionary Sessions, Design Workshop, Internship Fair, SheEO Summit, and Influencer Summit. This allows budget flexibility and targeted alignment with specific audiences or objectives—ideal for sponsors wanting focused engagement with particular segments like women entrepreneurs, investors, or design-focused students.
