Karnataka Plans Foreign University Campuses and Innovation Hub in KWIN City
The Karnataka government is developing KWIN City, a 5,000-acre project near Bengaluru, aiming to attract foreign universities through a 'build-to-suit' model tailored to their infrastructure needs. Fourteen companies and research institutions, including Toyota, have signed agreements, with Toyota establishing a high-standard innovation centre. Six foreign universities, including Imperial College London and the University of New South Wales, have committed to campuses, some already present in Bengaluru. The project will also host global-standard medical institutions and campuses of IISc and the National Law School of India University.
