Centre for Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) was envisaged by Prof. V. S. Rao, Director, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, with a vision to foster innovation-driven entrepreneurship, in alignment with BITS Pilani’s VISION 2020.
Our vision is to “Be amongst the top 3 Technology & Science institutions in India by 2015 and amongst the top 25 Technology & Science institutions in Asia by 2020. One of the imperatives to achieve our vision is “Innovation & Entrepreneurship”.
