The Department of IT&E, Government of West Bengal, has embarked upon a journey to create a robust ecosystem that can nurture technology-driven innovation, entrepreneurship, and continuous capacity building. With this mission in mind, the department has conducted eight landmark events on emerging technologies i.e. Cyber Security, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, embedded Technology, Internet of Things, Fintech, Quantum Computing & Global Blockchain Congress. The ninth such event in this drive was a knowledge workshop on Mobile Governance & Mobile Manufacturing (MGMM) held on 18th April 2019 at Biswa Bangla Convention Center, New Town, Kolkata.

The event is organized by Department of Information Technology & Electronics, Government of West Bengal, in collaboration with West Bengal Electronics Industry Development Corporation (WBEIDC) and NASSCOM. The overall project management support was provided by the Project Management Unit team from PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd, attached to the Department of IT & E, Government of West Bengal.

Considering massive reach of mobile phones in our country and availability of various citizen-centric e-governance services through smartphones, the Government of West Bengal believes that knowledge sharing on mobile manufacturing in India and mobile governance with participation from technology leaders, industry experts, and academia is the need of the hour. The knowledge workshop emphasized on proposed solutions that can yield long-term benefits and help achieve sustainable development goals.
