IBM just made a bold move to supercharge Kerala’s tech scene. On July 15, the tech giant launched the Ecosystem Incubation Center (EIC) at Infopark Kochi—a strategic hub designed to fuel innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration across startups, enterprises, and academia.
What’s Inside the EIC?
- Quarterly meetups with IBM Subject Matter Experts
- Hands-on mentorship for proof-of-concept development
- Technical workshops and hackathons
- Academic integration for continuous learning and upskilling
- A dedicated focus on Generative AI and Agentic AI, building on IBM’s existing Software Lab in Kochi
Why Kochi?
IBM sees Kochi as a rising deep tech hotspot, thanks to its blend of talent, infrastructure, and progressive social climate. The Kerala government is also exploring GenAI to streamline state administration, with a strong emphasis on privacy and data security.Strategic Collaborations
IBM is partnering with:
- Kerala Startup Mission
- Infopark & Technopark
- Universities and colleges (including those ranked in India’s top 100)
This feels like more than just a center—it’s a launchpad for the next wave of Indian tech leadership.
