“It is the industry’s effort in making India a responsible global citizen by adopting clean and green manufacturing technologies,” he added.
Under the agreement the Indian industry will also have access to Fraunhofer’s research and development network in areas such as health, security, communication, energy and environment.
Fraunhofer Institute will provide technology and research consultancy in advanced manufacturing technology to the manufacturing industries in India.
The partners will also work towards identifying joint coorporation projects leading to new product development for the benefit of Indian society.
Interested industry players would be invited to either form a consortium or work in partnership with Fraunhofer, CMTI and CII on these joint cooperation projects.
