US-based Keralites initiative to bring home tech businesses

State capital hosts technology summit

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 12:

A group of Keralites settled in the US hopes to bring together experts across different technology verticals to contribute to the growth of the home State.

The Indian-American Kerala Centre, New York, had organised a technology summit for Kerala in that city on November 14 and 15 last year to assess what all new technology related businesses can be brought here.

Second summit

The Centre is now hosting the second technology summit here on Monday and Tuesday.

The purpose of the New Kerala Initiative is to develop a vibrant environment for economic growth by leveraging local talent as well as skills and expertise of non-residents in new and emerging technologies.

It will help attract investment and resources and will support skills training, mentoring, entrepreneurship and development of employment opportunities.

The goal is to make the state a hub of technology enterprises and activities that can rival similar centres elsewhere in India, says Thomas Abraham, the convener of the meet.

Kerala must explore the possibility of leapfrogging to next technologies including, nanotechnology, nano-bio convergence technologies, nanomedicine, biomedicals and alternative energy generation and storage, he said.
