EDII REPORTS 125

Glimpses of the inaugural event...

“Goa is also one of the first four states to implement the Startup Policy 2017. On the
front of entrepreneurship, while tourism reigns supreme, people are parallelly
delving into other emerging areas. The state now steps forth to harness its potential,
in several upcoming sectors, and evolve as a state that nurtures entrepreneurial
aspirations to ensure growth. In that sense, the association with EDII will strengthen
the entrepreneurship scenario.”
- Hon'ble Chief Minister of Goa, Dr. Pramod Sawant

“Goa, with its dynamic blend of culture and commerce, offers a fertile ground for
entrepreneurial ventures to flourish. The EDII's Goa Centre, I am sure, will serve as a
catalyst, nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the people of Goa,
particularly its youth. Given EDII's initiatives, Goa is poised to become a cradle for
entrepreneurial aspirations and mindsets.”
- Dr. Milind Kamble, Founder Chairman, DICCI & Board Member-EDII

“I am glad that we are working collaboratively towards the task of strengthening
entrepreneurial pursuits in Goa. At EDC Limited, we stand committed to supporting
and nurturing the entrepreneurial ecosystem, driving economic prosperity and
creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Together, we will seize this
moment to unlock Goa's boundless potential.”
- Shri B. S. Pai Angle, Managing Director, EDC Limited, Goa

“The growth in the SME sector, especially in Goa, is profound, and is manifesting
itself in several domains. Building on this, EDII will undertake a series of initiatives
involving training, research and documentation, mentoring and incubation to
ensure that Goa becomes a hub of entrepreneurship and innovations, unleashing a
relentless pursuit for new opportunities and processes.
