IET India signs MOU with ISA
IET India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with India Semiconductor Association (ISA), the premier trade body representing the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) industry on May 4, 2012.
Through this partnership the IET seeks to strengthen industry ties, encourage the exchange of knowledge, and promote understanding and cooperation among IET members and the members of ISA.
The IET and ISA will jointly organise membership promotion activities to increase awareness of the member benefits and activities of the other institution. The ISA and IET will also work together on joint projects, events, conferences, forums, publications, standards, educational materials and awards.
Speaking at the occasion, Nigel Fine, Chief Executive of the IET said "India is a key part of our growth plans and this collaboration with ISA further strengthens our growing international network of partnerships. I am delighted that this new partnership with the ISA will help Indian engineers develop their sector expertise, widen their professional community and access world class engineering intelligence via the IET."
PVG Menon, President of ISA said "We are delighted to enter into an agreement with IET to offer content and skill development programs to our members. We believe this is crucial to realising our vision to make India a preferred global destination for ESDM, and to achieve the goal of building a US $400 Billion ESDM sector in India by 2020. Our engineers and professionals will benefit enormously from tapping into IET's rich content and expertise base, and we hope to proliferate international best practices in Indian industry through such alliances."
