The Centre would like to use Hyderabad’s startup culture and infrastructure to enrich and promote the country’s space technology sector, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh said.
Mr Singh was, on Friday, speaking at the 24th National Conference on e-governance, where he said that the ‘unlocking’ of the country’s space sector has begun, and that private entities are also being involved in this initiative.
“We are in the process of opening up centres and other venues, other locations. Certainly, Hyderabad would also be in the queue, in waiting for that, because the kind of infrastructure they have, the kind of startup culture which already exists in Hyderabad, we would like to use it for the enrichment of the promotion of space technology in the country,” Mr Singh said.
