The Karnataka State Policy and Planning Commission (KSPPC) has proposed expanding the state's technology ecosystem beyond Bengaluru to cities including Mysuru, Hubballi-Dharwad, Mangaluru, Belagavi, Kalaburagi, and Shivamogga.
“While Bengaluru has emerged as the nation’s technology capital, the roadmap emphasises the urgent need to decentralize innovation and strengthen technology ecosystems across tier-II and tier-III cities and rural regions of the states,” said KSPPC member S Mohanadass Hegde said in a letter to chief minister Siddaramaiah on Monday.
