In a bid to give a boost to the budding information-technology (IT) sector in Goa, the state government is working towards encouraging the concept of “digital nomads” in the state. This information was shared by Revenue and IT Minister, Rohan Khaunte, while speaking at the 110th annual general meeting of Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
Digital nomads are those professionals who use advanced telecommunications technology to continue working while moving from one place to another.
Khaunte said, “We are coming up with a co-working space in Morjim, which will serve digital nomads in Goa and in other parts of India as well. This will boost the IT and academic sectors by adding to their talent pools. People from Israel and other countries come to the state. We want to encourage such community of digital nomads. Such people are keen to find office space away from usual traffic and congestion.”
Khaunte also said that the state governement is working on setting up a hybrid co-working space in Porvorim and one more in South Goa as well.
Meanwhile, Chairman of EDC, Sidharth Kuncaleinker, said that the incubation centre at EDC will be inaugurated by the second week of July. This will help IT start-ups a lot, which have been demanding affordable and efficient office-space in the capital city of Panaji for a long time.
