The multi-storied building being inaugurated at Raidurg in Hitec City has been divided into 10 floors that will house different centers to promote an innovation ecosystem.
The new facility is on its way to becoming the world's largest innovation campus.
While one of the floors will be dedicated solely to venture capitalists, other floors will house a state innovation cell to promote rural talent, a center of excellence in cyber security, a center for innovation and entrepreneurship, along with representation from the Dept of Science and Technology, Atal Innovative Mission on Artificial Intelligence.
