Technocity's location is well connected by road, as the site is adjecent to the National Highway.
The IT city is a short drive from the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport and the Kazhakkutom railway station.
Asian School of Business is developing its state-of-the art campus in the Technocity area. Trivandrum International School is very close to Technocity.

With the establishment of Technocity, the whole belt will qualify for consideration under the Union government scheme of Information Technology Investment Regions (ITIR). The launch of the Technocity project and further development of Technopark will make Thiruvananthapuram the first and complete IT city in the State.

Once completed, the Technocity will become the largest IT city in India. We have applied for funding to the Japan International Cooperation Agency through the Department of Economic Affairs of the Union government to raise the Rs.170 crore needed for infrastructure development of Technocity.
