Cordiant Tech to open research park near Kochi

Cordiant Technologies is all set to set up an Information Technology Research Park at Thiruvaniyur, 15 km east of Kochi. The company has already acquired 7.5 acres of land and cosntruction is expected to commence soon.

Integral to the Cordiant IT Research Park would be Cordiant Innovation Center (incubation space) for young entrepreneurs and also turnkey lab space for industry peers.

Cordiant IT Research Park would also work closely with select educational institutions in the region to improve the overall industry-relevance of their study programs.

The development of the research park would take place in phases, with the first phase expected to be completed in 2012.

 

A part of the park would be industry-specific finishing schools set up in partnership with other companies and industry associations.

“In spite of an early start, the state of Kerala has lagged behind its southern neighbours in Information Technology investments. However, there are several factors which make the state a far better investment location for IT," said Dennis Paul, president and CEO, Cordiant Technologies.
