Infineon India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) this year.

The MoU aims to develop, foster, and promote the country's innovation ecosystem by encouraging and supporting engineering students, product startups, innovators, and entrepreneurs through design challenges using Infineon's innovative products to address applications of relevance for India.

The Company has partnered with key organisations such as NITI Aayog, Startup India, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). These partnerships align with the ‘Make in India’ initiative, reinforcing Infineon's commitment to nurturing India’s vibrant start-up ecosystem and contributing to the country's digital and economic development.

"We are committed to empowering India's startup ecosystem in microelectronics. Partnerships such as the MoU with DPIIT allow us to work with innovative startups, giving them access to state-of-the-art technologies and our local and global networks. In return, we tap into their agility and entrepreneurial spirit, driving mutual growth and strengthening India's innovation ecosystem,” said Vinay Shenoy, Managing Director, Infineon India.

Infineon India has collaborated with various incubators and innovation ecosystems for years, including the Foundation for Science Innovation and Development at IISC Bangalore, IIT Madras Incubation Cell, and Artpark, AI and Robotics Technology Park at IISC. These partnerships have enabled the company to support startups and innovators in the country, and provide them with access to resources, expertise, and funding.

Recent Infineon partnerships with startups like e-Drift Electric, EYDelta, or Mimyik are successful examples of collaboration with significant impact on e-mobility and e-charging as well as smart health solutions.

As part of Infineon's co-innovation program, e-Drift Electric is contributing to the development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The start-up is focusing on creating energy-efficient modules using Infineon's Si-SiC-MOSFET portfolio. As the adoption of EVs accelerates, it is increasingly important to develop an energy-efficient and robust charging infrastructure to ensure a cleaner and greener future for transportation in India.
