The Technology Entrepreneurship Program is a tripartite commitment entered in 2007 between Intel, Department of Science & Technology (DST), Govt. of India and IUSSTF towards implementing a set of three programs that are devised to foster an ecosystem that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship by creating sustainable, long-term networks and platforms by adopting some of the best practices in University of California, Berkeley. The three components of the program include: |
| As a part of its mandate to promote innovation, IUSSTF has partnered with HP India in the HP Innovate 2008 competition aimed to recognize and award outstanding and creative ideas from undergraduate engineering students from India and provide an opportunity to connect them with the HP University Relations worldwide program at Palo Alto, CA. The competition invites technical papers and prototypes in selected theme areas like embedded technologies, internet based communication, nanotechnology, network security, multi-media & gaming, open source applications, image processing & printing, multi-core architecture etc. |
A brainstorming workshop on Remote Sensing Applications for Agriculture Productivity was organized by Boeing India in partnership with IUSSTF in 2005 in New Delhi. The event brought together key stakeholders and experts from both private and public sector in India and U.S.A. to share knowledge on information technologies and remote sensing application technologies as a tool in enhancing agricultural productivity.
A short course on Computational Aeroelasticity was co-organized by Boeing Inc., Seattle and National Aerospace Laboratory, Bangalore in 2006 at Bangalore under support of IUSSTF. The course objective was to provide an overview of computational methods used in static aero-elasticity and flutter analysis with a distinct emphasis on current practices in industry and laboratories. |
A three week summer school on Algorithms, Complexity and Cryptology was organized by Microsoft Research India in 2006 at Bangalore in partnership with IUSSTF. The school was designed on advanced lectures for young researchers and early career faculty covering the three broad areas of algorithms, cryptography and security, leading up to identification of some open problems of research in the subject areas.
Partner: Agilent Technologies
Agilent Technologies launched the Clean Air Challenge program in India in 2007 in partnership with IUSSTF. The Clean Air Challenge (CAC) is a multi-disciplinary, science and mathematics based curriculum unit for schools that uses a storyline to introduce state mandated science and math principles through hands-on exploration of a ‘real world’ issue of air quality. CAC model helps teachers to teach and students to learn fundamental academic concepts through step-by-step scientific exploration and ‘open-ended’ activities where students design their own experiments on clean technologies.
Partner: Lockheed Martin
The DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Program was launched in 2008 as a two-year, nation-wide project, created to enhance the growth and development of India's entrepreneurial economy. The Program is equally funded by the Department of Science and Technology (Govt. of India) and Lockheed Martin Corporation, a premier systems integrator and global security enterprise principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainability of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Program will be jointly implemented by Indo-US Science & Technology Forum in partnership with IC2 Institute at the University of Texas, and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FICCI). The Program is open to technologies such as Aeronautics, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Communications, Computing, Defence, Electronics, IT, Engineering, Medical / Life Sciences and Nanotechnology. The Six Gold Medal winners from the Lockheed Martin Innovator Competition would be invited to participate in a professional business development engagement with the IC2 Institute, to create partnerships in the US and other global markets.
