The Ministry of Higher Education, Science & Technology, Republic of Indonesia is partnering with IIT Madras Global Research Foundation (IITM Global) to strengthen strategic cooperation in higher education, research, innovation, deep technology, entrepreneurship and talent development.
The partnership reflects the shared aspirations of India and Indonesia to build globally competitive innovation ecosystems that support sustainable economic growth, technological self-reliance and knowledge-driven development.
The partnership emerged directly from the recent bilateral discussions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prabowo Subianto, President of the Republic of Indonesia, during which both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to significantly expanding cooperation in higher education, science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
By bringing together IIT Madras’ globally recognised strengths in research, deep technologies and innovation with Indonesia’s ambitious national development agenda, the partnership seeks to create transformative solutions that contribute not only to Indonesia’s economic growth but also serve as a scalable model for the South-South partnerships of the future.
