The Department of Information Technology, Electronics, and Communication in Goa unveiled an innovative vision as an opportunities aggregator, using its natural ingredients that are instrumental in fostering innovation and creative development.
Known for its flourishing tourism industry, Goa is becoming a destination for upcoming startups and professionals, who are choosing it as a preferred workplace, attracted by its natural beauty, infrastructure, and supportive government policies.
Recognising this growing trend, Rohan Khaunte, Minister of IT, has launched a digital nomad visa, seeking intervention and support from the Central government.
Intending to focus on human capital rather than hard-core infrastructure, the government plans to capitalise on human resources through the Global Opportunities Aggregator (GOA) initiative.
This innovative platform will facilitate seamless remote collaboration, safeguard Intellectual Property, provide mentorship, and introduce a universal access card for accessing facilities like medical services, transportation, internet, co-living, and more in Goa.
With their commitment to supporting this initiative, the Goa government is exploring the creation of co-working spaces on beaches and heritage locations, blending workspaces with the State’s unique geographical and historical assets.
The Global Opportunities Aggregator initiative aims to showcase Goa’s distinctive qualities and also to empower and promote local talent. The government’s move aligns with the evolving dynamics of work and is a reflection of its dedication to fostering a conducive environment for innovation and growth.
