Kerala’s New Knowledge Valley Aims to Link Academia, Industry and Global Partners

In a bid to convert Kerala's research capacity into tangible economic opportunities, the state will set up a Knowledge Valley and a Research Park. Minister Rosie M. John explained that the venture will not merely add another institute but will create a platform where education, research, industry and worldwide prospects intersect. The proposal, discussed in a round‑table on the last day of the "Reimagining Kerala" program, highlighted strong industry linkages, shared modern facilities, and support for technology transfer and prototype creation.
