IIT Madras and Mitsubishi Electric to Collaborate on Semiconductor Research

Mitsubishi Electric India has inked an MoU with IIT Madras Research Park to support the institute’s research and development of sustainable technologies. 

A pioneer in semiconductor technology, Mitsubishi Electric India aims to achieve rapid innovation and technological upliftment for the nation’s consistent development with this MoU. It is currently one of the leading brands contributing towards such advancement through its electrical and electronic solutions for diverse production needs in India.

The first university-based park in India, IIT Madras Research Park fosters innovation and entrepreneurship through academic and industry collaborations that help digital start-ups and students alike in building their entrepreneurial skills and advanced learnings.

Ashok Jhunjhunwala, institute professor and president, IIT Madras Research Park and IITM Incubation Cell, said,“Make in India requires Design in India. We need the best of components to let our homegrown product compete with imported products and in the international market. Our partnership with Mitsubishi Electric India allows us to move towards this larger goal. Our products need to be developed through the best manufacturing process and have superior quality, while still being low cost.”

By offering tools and workshops to assist them, this collaboration is expected to enable the students to learn cutting-edge semiconductor technologies and supply power semiconductors in accordance with the institute's needs. The company has reportedly established a support centre at the research park to assist in resolving queries and providing useful information to academics and students.
