Incubation and training centres exclusively for small and medium information technology companies will come up at Elcot’s Special Economic Zones (ElcoSEZs) in three locations of Tamil Nadu.

This is one of the measures that the State Government has initiated to attract small entrepreneurs to occupy the readily available space in ElcoSEZs and in the IT parks at Tiruchi, Madurai and Thirunelveli.

The Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu has promoted SEZs, called ‘ElcoSEZ’ at Chennai, Tiruchi, Coimbatore, Madurai, Thirunelveli, Salem, and Hosur.

These incubation centres will offer plug-and-play facilities in each IT building to help small entrepreneurs to occupy space immediately. The centres are to be located at Tiruchi, Madurai (Ilandhaikum) and Tirunelveli, says a State Government order.

The location is ideal for SME occupants of incubation due to the prevailing conducive environment for software development and value-added infrastructure will be created in these locations.
