Kerala’s highly qualified human resources and the priority given to establish a knowledge-based economy as well as high-quality research institutions made the State the most suitable destination for Information Technology (IT)-based knowledge industries, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
Inaugurating the first-phase operations of the Digital Science Park on the Technopark Phase 4 (Technocity) campus at Mangalapuram, near here, on Tuesday, Mr. Vijayan expressed optimism that the park would catalyse the State’s transformation into a knowledge-based economy through translational research, engineering reforms in the higher education sector and by establishing centres of excellence.
Established close to the Digital University Kerala (DUK), the country’s first digital science park is envisaged to create an ecosystem that encourages collaboration and knowledge transfer among companies, universities and research institutions by providing access to cutting-edge technology like semiconductor cleanrooms, advanced materials and VLSI design, high-end computing and robotics laboratory.
