Companies incubated at Technopark here have decided to set up a group called Technopark Business Incubation Group (TBIG).
P. K. Kunhalikkutty, Minister for IT and Industries, will inaugurate TBIG here on Thursday, an official spokesperson said.

FORMING CONSORTIUM
It will help form consortiums for bidding for Government projects and tendering for business deals and projects.
