Foundation stone of Gujarat govt's incubation centre laid- 6-Apr-2012
Ahmedabad: Aiming to promote next generation entrepreneurs, the foundation stone of an incubation centre, to be headed by Infosys Chairman Emeritus N R Narayana Murthy, was laid by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi here.
Speaking after the ceremony, Modi said, "Twenty-first century would belong to knowledge power, and Gujarat would try to make India the world leader in knowledge. The new centre aims to promote next-generation entrepreneurship in the country."
It is the right time to reap dividends of the demographic advantage of India, where 65 per cent of the population is below 35 years of age, Modi said.
The new International Centre of Entrepreneurship and Technology (iCreate) would have an MoU with Israel's leading technology and science university 'Technion' for exchange of students, faculty and entrepreneurs, said N V Vasani, a member of iCreate's advisory board.
"We will also be looking to have tie-up with institutes of repute in Germany, France and US," he said.
Murthy said in reply to a question from reporters: "If we can create even one entrepreneur in the next two or three years who can do something to make the state and the country proud, we will think we have delivered."
