The academic / industry interface of I²IT with respect to the academic and research programs has enabled us to create vital links with some major players in the technology industry to drive innovation in the years to come.
The industry academia association of the Institute is a valuable channel between pure technology research and real world scenarios, bringing academic research closer to the students studying at our Institute. These alliances are highly interactive and constantly encourages a continuous flow of ideas between the traditional academia and the growing industry. They provide students with opportunities to work on technical and entrepreneurial projects and are also considered for various fellowships. Employees of startups incubated on campus can benefit by pursuing their continuing education program at I²IT.
