Punjab technology and startup ecosystem development

Overview

The state signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Software Technology Parks of India to establish the ‘Startup Punjab Hub – Neuron 2.0’ in Mohali. This ₹29 crore project focuses on sectors such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, with the goal of nurturing at least 50 startups and training 2,000 professionals over five years.
