The government of Karnataka, Bengaluru Airport City Limited (BACL), and ANSR have jointly announced the launch of a Global Innovation Hub, District I within the Business Park of BACL.
The Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said that District I will serve as a central platform to accelerate deep-tech entrepreneurship, enterprise-driven innovation, and the commercialisation of academic research.
BIAl hopes that by bringing together Global Capability Centers (GCCs), IT service providers, accelerators, corporate labs, startups, VCs, academia, and public institutions will foster an interconnected, collaborative ecosystem across industries and institutions.
With a focus on advanced technologies, such as AI, quantum computing, blockchain, and customer experience technologies, this hub will foster innovation in critical industries, including aerospace, space tech, smart cities, retail, BFSI, manufacturing, telecom, and defence — sectors where Bengaluru already leads with deep technological capabilities.
District I will be an integral part of Bengaluru Airport City’s expansive 28 million sq. ft. Business Park cluster, which is being projected as a world-class, mixed-use urban destination encompassing cutting-edge R&D hubs, a dedicated Education & Health District, a vibrant mix of hospitality, entertainment, and lifestyle offerings.
