Infineon India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) to strengthen collaboration with startups in the fields of microelectronics, electromobility, and the Internet of Things. The agreement is aimed at encouraging engineering students, product startups, innovators, and entrepreneurs to participate in design challenges using Infineon technologies to address applications relevant to India.
“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 of Infineon India.
Infineon India has previously worked with organisations including the Foundation for Science Innovation & Development at IISc Bangalore, IIT Madras Incubation Cell, and Artpark at IISc. It has also partnered with Startup India, NITI Aayog, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) to support entrepreneurship. Past initiatives include the AI Challenge with Startup India and AGNIi, the solar pump motor drive challenge, and an MoU with MEITY to support the MEITY startup hub.
Recent collaborations under Infineon’s co-innovation programme include projects with e-Drift Electric, EYDelta, and Mimyk. e-Drift Electric is developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure using Infineon’s Si-SiC-MOSFET portfolio. EYDelta is working on electric motors and motor controllers for sectors such as mobility, drones, and aerospace, integrating AI-driven diagnostics and cloud connectivity. Mimyk, a startup from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, is focusing on metabolic health monitoring with the support of Infineon’s microcontrollers and access to its global network.
