GTech explores options in Singapore

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala is all set to strengthen cooperation with Singapore in the information technology (IT) sector.

A delegation of officials representing the Group of Technopark Companies (GTech), a strategic grouping of IT companies in Kerala, recently visited Singapore and held discussions with senior government officials and various industry chambers to enhance the level of cooperation between the two countries.

The visit was part of an initiative launched by GTech to establish global linkages for the IT industry in Kerala and scout for business opportunities. “Our initiative has led to renewed interest among the business community in Singapore, at a time when the city-State has emerged as India’s top four investors following the signing of a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) in mid-2005,” said Binu Sankar, chief executive officer, GTech.

The GTech team explored the possibility of cooperation with government agencies, such as the International Enterprise Singapore, the Economic Development Board, Singapore, Singapore Management University and the Infocomm Development Authority.The Singapore Business Federation has agreed to host a meeting for the IT companies from Kerala.
