Technopark, Kerala (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Technopark is a technology park in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kerala, India. The park is dedicated to IT ventures. It is the first and largest technology park in India. Launched in 1990, Technopark as of 2010 has 450,000 square metres of built-up space, and is home to over 180 companies, employing more than 25,000 professionals. Technopark is currently on an expansion mode by adding another 37 hectares as part of Phase III expansion and 450 acres as Technocity-an integrated IT township near Pallippuram. 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 substantially contributed to its growth. As of late 2008, Technopark accounts for about 70% of IT exports from Kerala.
