The organisation in its initiative will work collaboratively with its Indian partner, DesignTech Systems, and the Science and Technology Park, an institute supported by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.
The Government supported programme is supposed to inculcate industry-relevant product design skills among a large number of Indian youths and enable them to secure better livelihood. The agreement is supposed to benefit a large community of students, academic institutes and Industry by establishing an Engineering Centre of Excellence (CoE) for research, innovation and skill building.
