Software Technology Parks opens ‘IoT OpenLab’ in Bengaluru; plans to set up 21 more centres

Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) soft- launched ‘IoT OpenLab’ – a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in IoT – in Bengaluru in association with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on Tuesday.

STPI is in the process of opening 21 more CoEs in emerging technologies across the country. Of the 21 CoEs, three are already functioning — the Electropreneur Park in Delhi, FinBlue in Chennai and NEURON in Mohali — and the rest will be operational in the next two years.

IoT OpenLab will focus on creating a robust ecosystem based on a collaborative model to nurture start-ups and drive R&D, innovation and product development in IoT-focussed sectors like defence, aeronautics, agriculture, health, automobile and education.
