  "account": "The Keralam government plans to introduce the IT Parks Affiliation Scheme, a move aimed at connecting IT firms operating outside the primary IT parks with a state-level technology ecosystem. This initiative intends to enhance interaction between these companies and both the government and the broader industry. The scheme will allow IT firms situated outside government-owned IT parks to avail the advantages offered by these parks. Prior to the scheme's unveiling on October 6, an affiliation portal has been made accessible for qualifying companies to register and become a part of the affiliated network. The primary objective of this scheme is to enable these companies to become an integral part of Kerala's expanding technology network, enhance their visibility, gain access to ecosystem opportunities, and foster closer collaboration with government, industry, and other stakeholders. The Industries Minister, P.K. Kunhalikutty, will inaugurate the scheme and introduce the Kerala Tech Brand at Technopark Phase-I on October 6. Additionally, a prefabricated IT building, spanning 2 lakh square feet, and common recreational areas at Technopark Phase-III campus will also be inaugurated on the same day. The Kerala Tech Brand aims to integrate companies, co-working spaces, and private technology infrastructure into a connected state-level technology ecosystem, thereby creating more opportunities in emerging technologies.",
