KSUM’s Innovation Festival shifts focus beyond startups and tech

The Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), the state’s nodal agency for entrepreneurship development, is gearing up to host the first-ever Kerala Innovation Festival on July 25 (Friday) and 26 at its Innovation Hub in Kalamassery.

The two-day event, expected to draw over 10,000 participants, is being positioned as more than just another startup gathering. While product showcases, founder pitches and investment networking remain central, the festival also reflects KSUM’s conscious effort to expand what innovation means.
