Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM)
Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) is the nodal agency of the Government of Kerala for startup entrepreneurship development and business incubation, with nearly two decades of experience in supporting technology-based startups across the state. KSUM’s mandate includes planning and managing Technology Business Incubators and accelerators, promoting innovation, facilitating R&D and industry–institute collaboration, and supporting academic entrepreneurship through Innovation & Entrepreneurship Development Centres (IEDCs) in colleges and universities.
With its state-wide network of more than 40 incubators, covering approximately 10 lakh sq. ft. of incubation space, KSUM provides critical infrastructure, mentoring, seed funding support, prototyping facilities, and acceleration programs—making it a foundational institutional partner for MiZone.
Through this enablement, MiZone was able to establish and operate the MiZone Startup Incubation Centre and integrate into Kerala’s broader startup ecosystem, gaining institutional credibility, access to resources, and sustained technical and entrepreneurial support.
