Huge Boost for NE Entrepreneurs– NEDFi Databank & Resource Hub Now Open
Aug 10, Guwahati — In a move aimed at strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Northeast, the Northeastern Development Finance Corporation (NEDFi) has inaugurated a state-of-the-art Information and Resource Centre in Guwahati, along with an integrated Northeastern Region Databank.
The facility, funded and operated by NEDFi, is designed to serve as a hub for business intelligence, providing aspiring and established entrepreneurs with access to crucial economic data, market insights, and sector-specific resources. Officials say the centre will not only bridge the information gap but also create a network for collaboration among startups, investors, and policymakers.
Speaking at the launch, NEDFi representatives underscored the importance of accurate data and information in shaping business decisions, particularly in a region with unique economic challenges and opportunities. The Northeastern Region Databank, integrated into the centre, is expected to become a central repository of socio-economic and industry-specific data, helping enterprises identify trends and potential growth areas.
Local entrepreneurs have welcomed the initiative, noting that access to timely and reliable information can significantly improve their ability to attract investment, scale operations, and compete in broader markets. The centre also plans to host training programs, workshops, and networking events to foster innovation and entrepreneurship across the eight Northeastern states.
Industry experts view the launch as part of a larger push to integrate the Northeast into India’s mainstream economic growth narrative while preserving the region’s unique business identity.
