Panjim; January 2026: To celebrate National Startup Day 2026, the Startup & IT Promotion Cell (SITPC) under the Department of Information Technology, Electronics & Communications (DITE&C), Government of Goa, will organise a Startup Handholding Support Programme on January 19, 2026, at the Goa Marriott Resort, Miramar, aimed at strengthening the state’s growing startup ecosystem.
The programme will provide structured, end-to-end guidance to startups on understanding and availing benefits under various Government of India and Government of Goa schemes. Through panel discussions, scheme presentations and an interactive workshop, founders will gain practical insights into compliance requirements, funding readiness and best practices to scale their ventures.
DS Prashant, Chief Executive Officer of SITPC, said the initiative will create a strong engagement platform for startups, incubators, industry associations and ecosystem enablers. He noted that registered startups will receive step-by-step guidance, enhanced awareness of schemes and follow-up assistance to help them successfully access government incentives and support mechanisms.
Along with capacity-building sessions, the event will also felicitate successful startups and recognise key contributors to the Goa startup ecosystem, reinforcing the government’s commitment to fostering innovation, entrepreneurship and a future-ready, inclusive startup environment in the state.
