The firms will include domestic companies as well as subsidiaries of multi-national organisations.

Technocity is being jointly developed by the [[Government of Kerala]] and private developers. The Govt. is represented by [[Technopark, Kerala|Technopark]] and a special company called the Kerala State Information Technology Infrastructure Limited (KSITIL). Individual phases of the project will be developed as Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) between KSITIL and individual developers. KSITIL plans to hold 26% equity share in all the SPVs. Once fully operational, Technocity is expected to create about 200,000 employment opportunities.<ref name="Technocity conceptualised to create 20 million sq.ft of business space">
