Minister for Tourism and Public Works P. A. Mohamed Riyas on Thursday opened the first edition of the three-day Kerala Technology Expo (KTX) 2024 hosted under the aegis of the Calicut Innovation and Technology Initiative (CITI) at the Calicut Trade Centre here.
The inaugural day, which was packed with exclusive sessions on current technological innovations and experiments, witnessed a turnout of about 3,000 attendees.
In his inaugural address, Mr. Riyas said the State government had already decided to implement innovative tourism development projects worth ₹1,200 crore in Kozhikode district alone, which would transform the city into a new destination by 2030. He added that KTX could be a perennial event in the city to bolster its tech ecosystem further by boosting remote work opportunities in pace with the evolving dynamics of the new-generation work space.
