This ambitious project, launched under the auspices of the UniGoa Knowledge and Innovation Foundation, marks a significant milestone in the state's journey towards becoming a thriving hub for innovation and start-ups. With a special focus on the burgeoning fields of biotechnology, healthcare, and technology, GURU promises to reshape Goa's economic and industrial profile, establishing it as a major player in cutting-edge research and development.
The Vision of GURU: Catalyzing Change in Goa
