The Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) has proposed an Innovation Campus that will be a base for technology businesses to grow by leveraging the strengths of the varsity.
The three major components of the innovation campus are a research park, space for start-ups, and academic activities. A concept note on the proposed campus has recommended a 5-10 acre area with 1-2 lakh square feet buildings. Around ₹200 crore will be required to set up the campus, which will be run as a special purpose vehicle (SPV).
The proposal was placed before Minister for Higher Education R. Bindu during the inauguration of the RUSA Innovation and Startup Ecosystem on Thursday.
