Information about Menlo Park collaboration in Kochi
Q: Hi, i heard about the collaboration between Menlo Park in US ,and Kochi City. Is it true? If so,can someone provide me with some details about the same.
The government expects to attain tangible economic and cultural results from the visit. As part of the agreement, at least 50 start ups from Kochi may soon land in Silicon Valley for a one-month boot camp. Talks are also going on for an exchange program for Cusat students, and a fund raiser event for Kochi Biennale in Menlo Park has already been announced.
Yes, this development will provide support to diverse sectors of businesses in Kochi, including helping start up companies here to expand and raise their scale, using the business development department in Menlo Park, which supports companies from India and other countries to come in and find partners.
The delegation from Melno Park is in Kochi ahead of the signing of the twin city agreement between Kochi and Menlo Park establishing social, cultural and economic tie-ups, and the signing will take place in the state capital on Wednesday in the presence of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
Hey there, from the Kochi corporation side, InfoPark CEO Hrishikesh Nair said that the tie-up with Menlo Park would further boost the growth of IT and start-ups in the state, while promoting growth and employment in the city as well.
Did you know that up to 100 technology startups from Kerala could be given a chance to travel to the Silicon Valley to learn about the nuances of building a billion dollar tech company. That is bound to be a great learning experience for them, in my opinion.
The mayor of Menlo Park, a global technology and financial hub in the heart of US Silicon Valley, said that her city will play a lead role in bringing US companies to Kochi and developing infrastructure facilities in the city. Dont you think that's good news for our city!
I know that Catherine Carlton, who is the mayor of Menlo Park, is basically the one who is leading the talk with kochi authorities. She also said that Kochi is emerging as a global player in IT and startup culture, and will help the US companies to establish their operations in the city and in turn also help the start-ups in Kochi to grow.
Yes! I have heard about the talks between the Menlo Park people and the Kochi corporation about the collaboration. Menlo Park in California is home to a number of technology giants including Facebook, and is known as the capital for venture capital.
