Kozhikode, the event’s host city, is a prime example of this transition. It’s a successful Tier 3 city and the third-biggest municipal corporation in Kerala, and is quickly becoming a major IT hub. The city’s old trade routes have turned into strong connections for technology and business, especially with the Middle East. Kozhikode contributes a lot to the economy, especially in areas like IT, making it stand out nationally.

Calicut Innovation & Technology Initiative 2.0 (CITI 2.0)

Nine stakeholders, supported by the Malabar Chamber of Commerce (MCC), in collaboration with the Calicut Forum for IT (CAFIT), IIM Kozhikode, NIT Calicut, Kerala State Information Technology Infrastructure Limited (KSITIL), Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India (CREDAl), Kerala, and Calicut Management Association (CMA), have set out to systematically discover the city’s vast potential and advance it to the status of an aspirational hub in emerging India. Together, Government Cyberpark Kozhikode and UL Cyber Park, Kozhikode (ULCC) founded the society known as CITI 2.0 (Calicut Innovation & Technology Initiative).

Let us now take a glimpse into some of the prime factors of CITI 2.0;
