Kerala IT Parks, which promotes Information Technology, will be showcasing the competitive advantages it offers in the IT Infrastructure space both as a facilitator and as an enabler at GITEX Global 2021, to be held from October 17 to 21, at the Dubai International Convention Centre.
Under the theme ‘Future Perfect,’ Kerala IT Parks CEO John M Thomas (pictured) will lead the 50-member delegation to highlight their strengths and how they can add value to enterprises in the region cost-effectively. Snehil Kumar Singh IAS, Director, Kerala IT Mission will join Kerala IT delegation at GITEX 2021.
The Kerala IT Parks offers IT built up space/land parcels in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and in Domestic Tariff Areas (DTA) within its campuses.
The latest Kerala IT Policy invite private IT co-developers/IT companies to invest in IT infrastructure within Kerala IT Parks, and support the growing demand of Kerala IT ecosystem. Meeting the contemporary demands, our campuses are graduating into IT integrated townships under ‘live-work-play’ lifestyle model.
Along with Kerala IT Parks, the IT ecosystem is well supported with Kerala Start Up Mission (KSUM- for mentoring budding IT entrepreneurs), Digital University Kerala (DUK) and ICT Academy Kerala (ICTAK) as capability building institutions, KSITIL for IT infrastructure development, Kerala IT Mission on e-governance initiatives and ICFOSS to popularise the use of free and open source technologies.
John Thomas said: “Kerala’s evolution as one of the leading IT hubs in the country is the result of a nurturing and enabling ecosystem developed by the Government. Our dynamic IT policy is fine-tuned to respond to the challenging pace of digital technology through the development of world-class IT Parks, and encouraging startups and entrepreneurship.”
“This has resulted in an IT industry with resilience, productivity and innovation skills that places us ahead of the technology curve. Through our participation at GITEX, we aim to engage with the global tech world and highlight our ability to meet the demands of the new digital economy.”
