Create | Innovate
Albert Einstein once said that the sign of true intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. He had enough foresight to recognize the power of ingenuity in men. It was through ingenuity that men, despite his flaws, have come this far and continues to do so. To create something new requires a sharp imagination and above all an overwhelming desire to change the way we chart our course. Innovation Hub, Manipur, will be a place where ideas are born and where desire to create is nurtured.

Like our name, Innovation Hub, Manipur, is a place where those with both the talent and courage can share and promote their ideas which may change the lives of people for the better.
