About us

Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) has been organizing Biennial Conferences on Entrepreneurship since 1994. These conferences provide a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners to share their research findings and experiences in entrepreneurship development. Deliberations on contemporary issues of relevance and interest have opened up new avenues to advance entrepreneurship on a much broader scale. The conferences are organized under the aegis of the Centre for Research in Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CREED).
