To promote research, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the semiconductor industry, Galgotias University and the VLSI Society of India (VSI) have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). After a previous deal with Edupedia Technologies, this collaboration is the University’s second Memorandum of Understanding to bolster its semiconductor research efforts.
A number of expertise partners have already expressed interest in the University’s plans to create a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Semiconductor Research. By giving researchers and students access to cutting-edge facilities, the CoE hopes to promote innovative research and assist India’s expanding semiconductor industry.
Through industry linkages, seed funding support, and techno-commercial mentorship, the alliance also seeks to foster the semiconductor startup ecosystem. In order to create an innovation-driven ecosystem that will help upcoming semiconductor firms and fortify ties between university and industry, this collaboration is essential.
