The Key projects include IT Parks, IT Towers, SEZs, co-working spaces, and a Cable Landing Station to enhance global digital connectivity.
 
 
Generous fiscal and non-fiscal incentives—ranging from subsidies to tax reimbursements—aim to attract domestic and foreign investments at scale.
 
 
By combining talent, infrastructure, and incentives, Odisha is preparing to emerge as a global innovation hub, contributing to India’s leadership in the digital economy.
