He added that the framework for nurturing and supporting startups across the state is being developed and Gujarat will emerge as a startup hub.

Speaking at the curtain raiser of 8th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2017, in Delhi, Rupani appealed to industrialists to become partner of the state and work together for the growth of the nation. He also said that benefits of the new industrial development should reach to the poorest of the poor people.

Giving testimony to the state’s focus on creation of infrastructure and an enabling ecosystem that encourages growth of manufacturing and service sector, he said at present there are 102 product clusters, more than 200 industrial estates, 19 operational SEZs and 13 special investment regions. He also added that MSME is the backbone of industry in Gujarat.
