Today, Polytechnic University is implementing several scientific projects with its colleagues with the support of Russian and Indian government funds and within the BRICS network.

At the end of March, Polytechnic University held an online meeting with Invest India, India’s national investment promotion and facilitation agency. The main activity of the agency is point support of local and foreign investors within the framework of the full cycle of investment in the Indian market.

The global science and technology market is constantly changing, requiring the development and implementation of new ideas. Examples of such solutions are the projects of the international polytechnic Accelerator, which Polytechnic University presented at the meeting. Among them is the industrial automation Alfa-Platform software. This program is widely used in the Russian industry.

Water and wastewater treatment using ferrate is another technology relevant for both the Russian and Indian markets.

°ʷʼ¼ offers the following projects for implementation in cooperation with scientists and specialists from Russia and India: sanitary monitoring system based on artificial intelligence; biotechnology for water protection in megacities; high-tech polymer composites; use of microalgae for carbon dioxide absorption.

One of the key discussions was the involvement of Indian experts to participate in accelerator programs of startups. This will make it possible to share experience, knowledge, and gain valuable insights into the specifics of the development of high-tech markets in India.
