KERALA BUREAU OF INDUSTRIAL PROMOTION |
|
|
|
Kerala Bureau of
Industrial Promotion (K-BIP) was constituted under the Industries
Department during the year 1991 as an autonomous body of the State
Government. It is envisaged for promoting the potential business
opportunities of the State to the foresighted entrepreneurs and to
highlight the ideal business climate prevailing in Kerala. K-BIP works
in close co-ordination with similar promotional agencies like KSIDC
(Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation), KINFRA (Kerala
Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation), Technopark etc for
the uplift of the industrial development giving specific attention to
the strategic advantages, the various Governmental supports and other
incentives offered in the different sectors of the industry.

K-BIP provides
operational flexibility and acts as support mechanism for the Industries
Department of the State Government.The Bureau also functions as an
interface between the prospective entrepreneurs and other State
agencies. |

K-BIP is the linkage
between national and international agencies for technology upgradation,
technology development and technology management for the various
sectors. Recently, K-BIP has signed an MOU with Asian and Pacific Centre
for Transfer of Technology (APCTT) of UNESCAP (United Nations Economic
and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific), which enables K-BIP to
utilize the services of APCTT to promote Small & Medium industries in
the State. The MOU envisages us to have an understanding with the APCTT
to facilitate the Technology up gradation and Technology Transfer
Services for the rural enterprises. |

K-BIP is the repository
of information regarding SSIs, Infrastructure and Technology databases.
Recently we have undertaken a survey to evaluate the status of SSI units
in Thiruvananthapuram. The information received from the survey has been
analysed and a brainstorming session of high-level officials to debate
the issues highlighted in the survey has been done. This survey is being
extended to other districts to bring a State wide centralized
database.K-BIP acts as nodal agency to stimulate interest among the
lesser-known industrial organisations to participate in trade fairs and
similar events by providing them suitable platforms to highlight and
market their products and services. |
