Infineon Boosts India’s Startup Ecosystem with DPIIT MoU

India is quickly becoming an important player in global semiconductor development, and Infineon Technologies is ramping up its commitments to support the startup ecosystem in India. Infineon, a leader in power semiconductors and IoT solutions, has collaborated with Indian startups for a long time to encourage innovation and to support entrepreneurship.

In order to support the government's "Make in India" initiative, Infineon has made partnerships with government agencies such as NITI Aayog, Startup India, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY). Infineon India and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). By encouraging technical talent, product-focused startups, and early-stage enterprises to collaborate on real-world design challenges, this agreement aims to foster India's innovation ecosystem. In order to develop solutions that are pertinent to India's demands, specifically in the areas of IoT, sustainable mobility, and digital security, participants will leverage Infineon's hardware and software.

“We believe in enabling India’s microelectronics and startup sectors,” said Vinay Shenoy, Managing Director, and Infineon India. “The MoU with DPIIT is an important step toward providing emerging companies access to our advanced technologies, technical guidance, and global network. This not only helps local entrepreneurs grow but also brings fresh thinking into our ecosystem.”
