The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry announced on Monday that it has signed 3 MoUs in Washington with educational institutions in the US.

The MoUs were signed with the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly), the IC2 Institute of the University of Texas and the Institute of International Education.

The MoU with NYU-Poly aims at the development of programmes and events to facilitate government, industry and higher education partnerships in research and business.

NYU-Poly will also design and host activities to promote an understanding of how partnerships between government, industry and educational institutions can spur advances in research and bolster economic activity in India.

The two organisations have agreed to bring their respective strengths to meet India’s growing demand for world-class research and development facilities that attract global talent.
