Gujarat adjudged “Best Performer in States’ Start-up Ranking 2018
Gujarat has added one more feather to its cap under the leadership of the dynamic Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Rupani. Gujarat has earned the “BEST PERFORMER” in States Start-up Ranking with a score of 100 percentile in the newly launched State Start-up Rankings 2018 assessment held by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

The aim of the rankings is to help bring notice to the progress that various States have made for promoting Start-ups, and at the same time foster a spirit of competition between the States.
Gujarat’s reputation as a fast growing hub for technology & services-based Start-ups reflects in the new rankings that were published today. The Government of Gujarat has taken proactive steps in key areas such as incubation support, seed funding support, simplified regulations, and easing public procurement. Gujarat also scored exceedingly well on the awareness and outreach parameters, an example of which is the Vibrant Gujarat Start-Up and Technology Summit organized earlier this year. The Government currently supports 196 start-ups and provided incentives in form of sustenance allowance, product development assistance and marketing assistance. The Government of Gujarat has also recognised 34 nodal institutes for supporting start-ups. Apart from offering assistance, the Government of Gujarat also gives preference to Start-ups in public procurement.
Gujarat has been particularly recognized for seed funding support, policy formulation and implementation, incubation hubs, outreach events of national and international level, venture funding, public procurement etc.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen said the President’s tweet is dangerous, premature and wholly inconsistent with the facts on the ground in Syria and the military’s advice.
