सॉफ्टवेयर टेक्नोलॉजी पार्क्स ऑफ इंडिया (STPI) का गोरखपुर केंद्र युवाओं को नवाचार, स्टार्टअप और रोजगार के नए अवसरों से जोड़ने वाला सशक्त मंच सिद्ध होगा तथा प्रदेश को डिजिटल विकास और टेक्नोलॉजी आधारित अर्थव्यवस्था की दिशा में नई गति प्रदान करेगा।

— मुख्यमंत्री @myogiadityanath जी

[Government of UP @UPGovt]

टेक्नोलॉजी विकास की रफ्तार को कई गुना बढ़ा सकती है। हमारी गति को प्रगति में बदल सकती है। जब हम तकनीक नहीं अपनाते, उससे परहेज करते हैं तो प्रतिस्पर्धा में नहीं होते हैं। और जब प्रतिस्पर्धा में नहीं होते हैं तो प्रगति की जगह दुर्गति की ओर जाते हैं। हमें दुर्गति की ओर नहीं जाना है बल्कि प्रगति का अनुसरण करना है।
