Spanning 3.5 acres, a 2 lakh square feet facility is being constructed with an investment of Rs 244 crore, in collaboration with NABARD. The project is tailored to support new entrepreneurs and the younger startup generation. It will offer opportunities for entrepreneurship and skill development to ITI and diploma students. The state will leverage the maximum potential in areas such as navigation, urban design, and mapping. A total of four science parks with an investment of Rs 1000 crore are being launched in Kerala, with the first phase of the Digital Science Park already completed. Additionally, an Advanced Space Initiative with a budget of Rs 250 crore is being planned.
