3. Oracle India Join Hands

Oracle India and Startup Village signed a MoU in November to integrate the Oracle Academy’s Advanced Computer Science curriculum into Startup Village’s engineering program. This effort will allow Startup Village to build a strong foundation for product start-ups in the country. It will prepare over 30,000 students and 200 teachers from 100 engineering colleges in Kerala for successful IT careers and meet the growing local demand for a highly-skilled technology workforce. Students will get exposure to Oracle’s world-class software and thus have a competitive advantage. In addition, Startup Village students and faculty will have access to Java Fundamentals and Programming classes, to help students gain hands-on experience with Java.

2. 1 lakh sq ft Land from Government

Keeping up to the promise made a couple of months earlier, Kerala government announced under Student Entrepreneurship Programme that it will hand over one lakh sq ft area to Start up Villages by Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA) before 2014.
