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.
