Its Premier Gladys Berejiklian today announced the decision to invest ASD 1.58 million over next two years, which will help create technology jobs in the province.
"The funds will be used to send NSW young entrepreneurs and startups to India to learn from the country's best and brightest, to support commercial connections between startups in NSW and India and on fostering collaboration on advanced technology projects," an official statement said.
The announcement was made by Berejiklian, who is on a four-day visit to the country, during an event at the Zone Startups here.
