Manufacturing Conclave 2026: Powering MSMEs from Energy Savings to Sustainable Growth
ASSOCHAM Goa State Development Council, in partnership with the Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is organising the Manufacturing Conclave 2026, a landmark event designed to help MSMEs navigate rising operational costs and turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. The conclave will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, financial institutions, and technology experts to deliberate on key themes including energy efficiency, sustainable manufacturing, financing solutions, regulatory frameworks, and scalable technologies for MSMEs. 
The Strategic Pivot
Today’s manufacturing MSMEs face a triple threat: soaring energy costs, resource inefficiency, and mounting compliance pressures. This Conclave rebrands these challenges as growth enablers. By adopting energy-efficient practices and clean energy, businesses can:
- Boost Profitability: Directly reduce the bottom line through reduced utility spend.
- Fuel Innovation: Redirect operational savings into R&D, digital transformation, and capacity expansion.
- Unlock Green Capital: Gain priority access to ESG-linked funding and green finance frameworks.
Event Highlights
The Conclave serves as a vital bridge, connecting Goa’s industrial hub with the policymakers, technology providers, and financial institutions necessary to secure a profitable, sustainable future. 
- Date: 27th March 2026
- Venue: Taj Vivanta, Panjim – Goa
- Time: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Inaugural Session: 10:45 AM
Distinguished Leadership
Mauvin Godinho, Minister for Industries, Transport, Panchayat Protocol & Legislative Affairs, Government of Goa, will preside as the Chief Guest.
Following the inaugural ceremony, Minister Godinho will engage in a Media Interaction to discuss the state’s industrial roadmap, MSME empowerment initiatives, and Goa’s journey toward a green manufacturing economy. 
Why this matters now
As Goa stands at the intersection of digital transformation and green energy adoption, this Conclave is the definitive platform for industry leaders to chart a roadmap for sustainable industrial expansion.
Join ASSOCHAM as it bridges the gap between policy and practice, ensuring Goa’s MSMEs are not just surviving, but leading the green revolution.
