	History

	As a part of India’s support to the Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI), the Government of India proposed to set up an Entrepreneurship Development Centre based on the advice of the delegation of experts commissioned by The Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India. The Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Lao PDR and the Government of India for setting up an Entrepreneurship Development Center at Vientiane was signed on 2nd July 2004 at Jakarta, Indonesia. On 27 Nov 2004, during the ASEAN summit held in Vientiane, the Lao India Entrepreneurship Development Centre (LIEDC) was jointly inaugurated by H E Phimmasone Leuangkhamma, Minister of Education, Lao PDR and H E K.NATWAR SINGH, Minister of External Affairs Govt. of India.

	LIEDC spearheads the Entrepreneurship Development Movement in Lao PDR and is the centre of excellence for facilitating the creation of viable and competitive new enterprises and strengthen the existing ones. The establishment of LIEDC was supported by the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) in Ahmedabad, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Govt. of Lao PDR which hosts the Institute, as well as the Department of Higher Technical and Vocational Education. As part of UNIDO's Integrated Programme for Lao PDR, and in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Handicrafts as well as LIEDC, a technical assistance project entitled "Facilitating New Enterprise Creation and Enhancing the Competitiveness of SMEs in Developing Countries" (embodying the UNIDO "Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion-EDIP" programme) was initiated in October 2005. This project, also funded by the Government of India, was implemented in cooperation with the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India. The EDIP programme (Enterprise Creation and Enterprise Growth) is currently under implementation in various provinces of Lao PDR with remarkable success.
