Bengaluru, Sept. 22 -- Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge has said that the Local Economy Accelerator Program (LEAP) will ensure that the fruits of innovation are shared across Karnataka.

"LEAP is our commitment to ensuring that the fruits of innovation are shared across Karnataka. While Bengaluru is a global powerhouse, the state's true potential will be unlocked when we empower entrepreneurs in Mysuru, Hubbali, and Kalaburagi," the minister said.

"This Rs.1,000 crore program is more than an investment in innovation; it's an investment in a balanced, equitable, and resilient economic future for the entire state, aiming to create 5 lakh jobs and position Karnataka as a diversified global technology leader," he added.
