Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) has been organizing ‘Biennial Conferences on Entrepreneurship’ since 1994. The Biennial Conferences continue to provide a forum for researchers, educationists, and practitioners to share their research findings and experience in entrepreneurship development. Deliberations on issues of contemporary relevance and interest have opened up new avenues to spearhead entrepreneurship at a much broader scale. The Conferences were organized under the aegis of the Centre for Research in Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CREED) setup by EDII. EDII has organized Sixteen Biennial Conferences during 1994-2025.

The 3-day 16th Biennial Conference commenced on February 26th at the Institute’s campus. During this conference, over 148 research papers and studies by scholars from more than 9 countries on the themes of Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Entrepreneurship Education, Entrepreneurship Ecosystem, Psychology and Entrepreneurship, MSME Entrepreneurship, Technology and Digital Entrepreneurship, Startup and Innovation, Green and Sustainable Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, Culture, Tradition and Value- based Entrepreneurship, Women Entrepreneurship, Rural Entrepreneurship and Nascent Entrepreneurship and New venture Creation & Family Business, were presented.

Another important event of the Conference was the Doctoral Colloquium where the PhD. scholars and FPM students from across the country, were mentored and guided on their research work.
