The ‘Startup Infinity’ launchpad scheme will be extended to some more countries in due course, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan informed the Assembly on Wednesday.
The first centre under this scheme promoted by the Kerala Startup Mission had been started in Dubai. The Startup Infinity programme is aimed at encouraging the NRI community to launch startups. The centres would serve as one-stop destinations across the world to strengthen the State’s ecosystem for nascent companies.
The number of startups in the State has risen from 300 in 2016 to 4652, the Chief Minister said.
