PANJIM: The State government is set to sign a ‘Letter of Intent’ with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Goa Institute of Management (GIM) for the establishment of the ‘Goa Centre of Excellence (CoE) on Logistics.’ This agreement will be formalized during the 10th edition of the “CII Goa Logistics Conference” on Wednesday, September 25.
This significant event aims to advance Goa’s logistics sector, a key pillar of the State’s economic growth strategy. The conference will serve as a platform to attract new investments in the logistics sector, bringing together potential investors, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss innovative opportunities and strategies for growth.
The CoE will play a crucial role in implementing the recently launched Logistics Policy, driving the strategic development of logistics infrastructure, enhancing policy support, and facilitating capacity building within the sector in Goa. Additionally, the conference will feature discussions on the Goa Logistics and Warehouse Policy 2023, ‘Port Modernisation,’ and the emerging road transport and infrastructure potential for cargo movement in the state.
“Over the past 10 years, the CII Goa Logistics Conference has been instrumental in driving innovation and progress in the logistics sector. The insightful discussions and collaborations fostered through this platform have played a vital role in shaping the industry’s landscape. CII Goa remains committed to setting new standards and supporting the continued growth and development of the logistics sector in the State,” said Anthony Gaskell, Convenor of the CII Goa State Panel on Logistics.
