On June 28, when doors to the second phase of T-Hub were formally opened the technology startup incubator got a permanent address and Telangana a pride of place.
With a built-up space of 5.82 lakh sq ft, the 10-storied cantilever structure developed in the IT hub of State capital Hyderabad is the world’s largest incubator, going past Station F of Paris. Funded from the State Budget, the ₹400- crore facility carries forward the Telangana government’s emphasis on achieving scale with new projects.
Be it the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project to bring more land under cultivation or the ambitious Pharma City proposed near Hyderabad, the State has gained a reputation of thinking big. The new facility is a part of the world’s largest innovation campus coming up on 18 acres. As neighbours, the incubator will have two more projects conceived by the State government – maker lab T-Works and a 1.6 million sq. ft. IMAGE Tower that will house entities focused on work in the areas of multimedia, animation, gaming and entertainment.
