Years of
Transforming Ideas
into Enterprises
Launched in 1983, EDII is a National Resource Institute in entrepreneurship education, research, training, capacity building, institution-building, MSME growth and startup incubation. The Institute has been set up with the support of premier financial institutions, viz; the IDBI Bank Ltd; ICICI Ltd; IFCI Ltd; State Bank of India and with the backing of the Government of Gujarat. EDII stands on the belief that ‘Entrepreneurs are not just born but can also be created by training and well-conceived interventions’.
The Institute was set up during times when there were more disbelievers than believers in entrepreneurship. Since then, it has evolved, curating successful training models, most of which are being replicated widely. The Institute successfully established the credibility of entrepreneurship as a development tool and went on to get recognized as the CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Govt. of India.
