About
A proposal to set up a Centre of Excellence(CoE) for Internet of Things(IoT) at Bengaluru with an outlay of Rs 2195.22 Lac, to be executed jointly by ERNET India and NASSCOM is establishing the Centre of Excellence forInternet of Things (CoE-IoT) along with DEITY, ERNET and Govt.of Karnataka to build IoT ecosystem on a pan-India basis partnering with start-ups, enterprises, academia, nd government to drive innovation in IoT space which will help India to attain a leadership role in this field.
The Centre ofExcellence for IoT was announced by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July 2015 as a part of Digital India Initiative to jump start the IOT ecosystem taking Benefits of India’s IT Powers and helps in the role of the country’s leadership in the infected areas of hardware and software. The main objective of the center is to create innovative applications and domain capability.Additionally, the center will help build industry capable talent, start-up community and an entrepreneurial ecosystem for IOT.
CoE-IoT will operate on a PPP model and act as an enabler to drive various initiatives by leveraging Academia, Industry, Government andProfessional free URL redirection will drive various programs for start-ups, enterprise and academia separately.
Start-up program will provide collocation space, mentoring support and enterprise connect along with design, prototype, incubation space, validation & testing space, demo space and concept labs. CoE will provide multi-technology and interoperable platform for creating a validated product.
Enterprise program will provide the enterprises with an access to the start-ups including curated connects linked to strategy. Enterprises under CoE will get connected toVirtual Corporate Accelerator and External innovation labs. Enterprises can make use of the CoE as an extended laboratory for testing and validate them in-house solutions under multiple protocols, and on concept labs in a specific environment like Smart City, Smart agriculture etc.
Academic Program will include curriculum development, Industry access, college incubation, leveraging the infrastructure, Internship programs, faculty development program, deeper research engagement etc. Participating colleges could also leverage the infrastructure on display as well as access industry projects for development and validation of their institution. Academic leaders could also participate in embedded engineering innovation programs.
CoE-IoT will strengthen in India’s IT industry by fostering growth and development in IoT.
This center was launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 1st July 2015 while inaugurating Digital India Week.
