Keralam CM Outlines Shift to Quality Startups and Silver Economy Initiatives
Keralam Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan announced a strategic shift in the state's startup ecosystem, focusing on quality and scaling globally competitive enterprises rather than increasing startup numbers. At the Huddle Global 2026 festival in Kovalam, he highlighted plans to establish research-driven incubators, enhance funding, and support young innovators through programs like Gozip. Additionally, the government aims to develop a silver economy by promoting startups addressing elderly care, leveraging senior citizens' expertise and fostering innovation in this sector.
