Goa investment forum on June 30

The Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) will organise the ‘Goa Investment Forum-2012’ in Goa on June 30. The focus will be on the potential sectors such as IT & ITES, pharma and biotechnology, light engineering, entertainment and tourism and education . Mr Rashesh Shah, Chairman, FICCI-MSC, said, “Goa is endowed with important natural and human resources, and neighbouring Mumbai can attract investments. The objective of organising the forum is to make the industry aware about the State Government’s initiatives so that they can benefit and expand their investments.” The seminar will deliberate on strategies that can transform Goa into a ‘knowledge economy’ through investments in the sectors, he added. Mr Manohar Parikar Chief Minister, Goa, is expected to participate in the programme.
