“Today we have announces the auction of 29 prime plots: 20 industrial and 9 commercial plots at Verna Industrial Estate are now up for grabs, offering a unique opportunity for enterprises to thrive,” said Reginaldo
Reginaldo also launched OPEN (Open Platform for Enterprise Network) – India’s first Digital Public Good for Industry Governance, a cutting-edge open-source software platform designed to transform industry governance by simplifying, digitizing, and standardizing Government-to-Business (G2B) transactions.
As part of the highly anticipated launch of its new OPEN portal, the Goa Industrial Development Corporation (Goa-IDC) also announced the availability of 20 industrial plots at Verna Industrial Estate and 9 commercial plots for auction, offering unparalleled opportunities for the establishment of industrial and commercial enterprises.
The new portal, designed to enhance transparency and efficiency, will streamline the process for interested investors, making it easier than ever to access and bid for these prime properties.
The OPEN platform, developed by Goa-IDC, leverages DIGIT—a United Nations-certified Digital Public Good (DPG)—to deliver a streamlined, technology-driven solution that adheres to global standards for privacy, interoperability, and scalability.
The development of OPEN was driven by insights gathered during the 2023 IDC-Connect programs organized by Goa-IDC at the 24 Industrial Estates, where businesses emphasized the need for digital solutions to improve the efficiency and transparency of industry-related processes.
Responding to this feedback, Goa-IDC embarked on a mission to create a transformative governance tool designed to reduce the time, paperwork, and steps involved in availing services.
The launch of OPEN also resonates with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of minimum government, maximum governance, and his emphasis on using technology as a driver of efficiency, transparency, and innovation.
The Prime Minister’s focus on initiatives like Digital India and Make in India has inspired state governments to embrace technology-led reforms to simplify industrial processes and attract investments. OPEN embodies this vision by providing businesses with a user-friendly, transparent, and efficient platform that significantly reduces bureaucratic hurdles, enabling industries to grow and contribute to India’s economic aspirations.
