Karnataka’s ‘Government First’ initiative is being implemented to provide start-ups with opportunities to develop solutions for the requirements of government departments, test and evaluate their products and technologies in real government environments, and enable successful solutions to be considered for government procurement, said Priyank Kharge, Minister for Home, Information Technology, Biotechnology, and E-Governance, here on Wednesday (September 30).

The initiative, being implemented as part of the Elevate programme under the Karnataka Startup Policy 2025–30, has been approved by the State government. It aims to support up to 100 start-ups over a three-year period, with a total allocation of ₹25 crore.
