1. Preamble
a) Demographic dividend is one of India’s
biggest strengths. However, our demographic
dividend can be leveraged only when a
suitable eco-system is made available for the
youth to meaningfully deploy their energies,
skills and talents towards the nation building
and economic development processes. Hence
facilitating entrepreneurship, which in turn
leads to value creation and job creation, is
governance and a moral imperative which the
Government of Goa is unflinchingly
committed to. Hence the Government of Goa
has released this new Goa Startup policy,
which pertains to proliferation of start-ups
and unleashing of economic opportunities
across the state of Goa.
b) Goa is a popular urban state with the
highest per-capita GDP and enviable human
development indices. Goa’s cosmopolitan
culture, impressive infrastructure, quality
manpower, picturesque landscape, clean
environment and development orientation,
not only makes Goa an ideal base for
entrepreneurs to realise their dreams, but will
also play a key role in facilitating an
environment that is supportive and makes the
start-ups innovative and globally competitive.
It is towards this objective that this new Goa
Startup policy has been drafted.
c) One of the transformative factors of
Startups is their matchless potential to
exponentially scale up, leading to large scale
job & wealth creation. While the Government
is committed to promoting entrepreneurs
from Goa and generating employment for
Goans, the Government is equally committed
to inviting the best entrepreneurial talent and
the brightest innovative minds and the startup
ecosystem
enablers
like
Incubators,
Accelerators, Investors from outside Goa in
order to build a robust startup eco system
within the state.
d) The Government recognises that
education and skill development that is
aligned to the requirements of the industry
are vital for a robust startup eco-system.
Hence the Government is committed to
continuously improving the Goan Education
system, and providing Do IT Yourself course
to students of schools and university for
upgrading their skills.
e) In order to incentivise promising Startups
to be incorporated, registered in Goa and/or
operating from Goa, the Government of Goa,
on a case to case basis, can grant any
exemption beyond the scope of this policy, to
startups operating in the following areas with
a special focus on areas such as smart cities,
urban management, mining, tourism &
hospitality, gaming, waste management,
renewable energy, education, health care,
communication, and entertainment.
f) Building a lasting institutional framework
that changes the Startup landscape of Goa,
and makes the state an attractive Startup base
for entrepreneurs, involves a concentrated
strategy and robust implementation. Based on
the changing dynamics of the Startups,
entrepreneurs, human capital, industry and
other aspects related to the start-up
ecosystem, this policy will keep evolving and
remain proactively responsive to put Goa on
top of the Startup game.
