ORDER:
In the Government order first read above, orders have been issued approving the "State Startup and Innovation Policy 2018-2023".
2. In the reference second read above, the Mission Director, Tamil Nadu Startup and Innovation Mission (TANSIM) has stated that Startups in Tamil Nadu are technically capable of providing solutions to various governance and other issues faced by departments in implementing various schemes. Providing procurement preference to Startups will also help them to scaleup rapidly and create enormous employment and wealth in the State. 3. Many Startups struggle in the early stages because of lack of market for their products. Government is a major purchaser in the economy and Government patronage can solve the marketing problem of Startups to a great extent. Moreover, purchases by Go hent is a great source of recognition to the Startups. However, it is seen that Startups face many entry barriers because Departments and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUS) impose restrictions like Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), prior turnover condition, prior experience condition, etc. Many State Governments have recognised this problem and have issued orders dispensing with such entry barriers for Startups.
