The proposed knowledge city will house a knowledge tower that will offer plug-and-play facilities with easily accessible classrooms, auditoriums, and research hubs for global universities, a senior official said while speaking at the inauguration of a two-day global education summit on Wednesday. The knowledge city is spread over more than 800 acres. It envisions a knowledge-driven ecosystem with research and development hubs, incubation centres, industry platforms, and global universities. These institutions will not only coexist but also accelerate ideas from the lab to the market. The convention has immense potential as global university partnerships are being forged and large campuses are planned. In the days ahead, economic development is no longer about capital investment alone. It is a knowledge-driven economy where talent, research, technology, and innovation will contribute to national growth. The speaker further highlighted initiatives such as university research parks, a space manufacturing ecosystem, and collaborative industry platforms. The model represents a shift where universities do not operate in isolation but as part of a living ecosystem with strong research and industry collaboration. The summit is expected to initiate discussions on global academic collaborations, including joint degrees, dual degrees, and research and innovation partnerships in frontier areas. Another international academic leader noted that universities across Asia are rising with unprecedented vision, skill, and scale. However, it was also observed that institutions in another region will continue to attract global talent due to the strength of their research-oriented universities, despite periodic challenges.
