The Karnataka Department of Electronics, IT and Biotechnology will hold an online outreach session on the Cyber Security Policy 2024–2029 at 3 pm on Friday, October 16, 2026. The one-hour briefing is aimed at startups and enterprises that want to use the state’s cyber incentives.

The department’s poster sets the window from 3 pm to 4 pm and says registration is required. The session is online.

Highlights listed on the notice are how to apply for policy incentives, talent support and mentorship, industry work on research and innovation, and a live question session with department officials.

What the policy pays

The government order announcing the policy is dated March 16, 2024. The incentive window on the department site runs from that date to March 15, 2029, or until a new policy replaces it.

The IT BT department page says Karnataka will reimburse up to ₹1 lakh a year, excluding GST, for a cyber audit, incident management, or incident response bought from a Karnataka-based, CERT-In empanelled firm. The cap is 100 startups a year. The applicant must be registered with the Karnataka Startup Cell.

A separate research grant covers up to 50 percent of project cost, or ₹50 lakh, whichever is lower. The department page says five such projects can be funded each year.

The startup must be based in Karnataka and paired with a Karnataka academic institute. Internship support on the same policy page is ₹10,000 a month for undergraduates and ₹15,000 a month for postgraduates, for up to three months.

The poster does not name the officials who will take questions. Registration is through the department link: https://lnkd.in/eWcZZs4M.
