About
Technopark Kerala:
Located at Thiruvananthapuram (formerly Trivandrum),
India, is India's first and largest industrial park
dedicated to electronics, software, and other Information
Technology (IT) ventures. Started in 1990, the park
currently has 3.2 million square feet (310,000 square
meters) of built-up space. The park is home to over
110 companies, which employ more than 15,000 professionals.
The companies include one CMMI level 5 and PCMM
level 5 company, four CMM Level 5, two CMM Level
3 and several ISO 9001 certified companies. Technopark
is promoted by the Government of Kerala, with a
mandate to promote entrepreneurship and employment
in the region. The policy of economic liberalisation
initiated by the Government of India in 1991 and
the rapid growth of the global software industry
during the 1990s has substantially contributed to
the growth of Technopark. Over 70% of Kerala's IT
exports are from Technopark.
