Bengaluru, Karnataka, India: The Ramaiah Academy Foundation (RAF) and Dassault Systemes on Monday announced their collaboration aimed at bridging the critical gap between academic research and commercial-scale manufacturing. Central to this collaboration is the establishment of a Deep Science Translational Innovation Complex in Bengaluru, designed to accelerate productization in high-impact sectors including Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare & MedTech, Automotive, and Semiconductors.
This collaboration represents a first-of-its-kind model in the region, transitioning beyond a traditional academic arrangement into a fully integrated, go-to-market commercial partnership. It seamlessly leverages Dassault Systemes’ globally recognized 3DEXPERIENCE platform alongside Ramaiah’s deep science expertise and advanced prototyping infrastructure. This synergistic relation between RAF and Dassault Systemes aims to enhance the value for companies focused on enhancing their conceptual research & innovation; skill development of their engineers for newer projects; and acquiring newer talent.
“This collaboration represents a paradigm shift in how academia and industry collaborate in India. We are moving beyond transactional skill development into a technology l translation engine,” said Venkatesh Valluri, Vice Chairman, Ramaiah Academy Foundation.
“Through the Deep Science translation complex, we are providing an end-to-end value chain, from problem definition and virtual twin simulation to physical lab-scale manufacturing,” Valluri continued. “Our joint vision is to foster national-level ‘projects’ that embody the true spirit of Make-in-India, equipping both our industrial partners and our engineering talent with the world’s most advanced technological tools.”
“At Dassault Systemes, we believe that shaping the future of industrial innovation starts with empowering the next generation of engineers and thinkers in the virtual world,” said Deepak NG, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systemes.
Our collaboration with the Ramaiah Academy Foundation reflects a shared commitment to bridging the gap between academia and industry through platform-driven learning. We aim to foster a culture of sustainable innovation and advanced engineering excellence that will drive India’s high-tech and manufacturing ecosystems forward,” he stated further.
