"Bengaluru, being the startup capital, would pave the way for international startups to access the Indian market," said additional chief secretary E.V. Ramana Reddy.
GIAMAP will help Karnataka-based startups establish global partnerships, increase global sales and expand export projects. Through GIAMAP, the Karnataka government has embarked on creating Global Innovation Alliances with hubs in the USA, the UK, Israel, France, Germany and others.
