KEONICS turns 50, takes Karnataka’s tech story beyond Bengaluru
KEONICS marks 50 years with plans to expand technology infrastructure, AI skilling and digital services across Karnataka.
The Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (KEONICS) celebrated its 50th anniversary on September 22 in Bengaluru, highlighting its ongoing role in the state's technology landscape. Established in 1976, KEONICS was instrumental in developing Electronic City and has since broadened its scope to include IT infrastructure, digital services, skilling, and electronics.
The corporation now operates over 130 training centers that have certified more than 1.39 lakh students, and it is constructing new technology hubs in Shivamogga, Mangaluru, and Mysuru. These developments aim to create employment and business opportunities beyond Bengaluru, with public-private partnerships and Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFOP) models.
KEONICS is also enhancing government IT services through its KEONEXT digital marketplace and developing the KEO AI PC, a Made-in-Karnataka AI-enabled computing product. These initiatives reflect KEONICS' commitment to expanding technology infrastructure and opportunities throughout Karnataka, with the new chapter focusing on establishing a broader network of technology hubs and digital services across the state.
