In a landmark step to bolster research and development across sustainable urbanisation, healthcare innovation, and deep tech entrepreneurship, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati Research Park Foundation has signed three pivotal Memorandums of Agreement (MoAs).

Through its partnership with the Assam Government - IIT Guwahati Healthcare Foundation, IIT Guwahati Research Park will host a corporate office and interim laboratory for the Assam Advanced Healthcare Innovation Institute (AAHII). Set to be a premier “Make in India” centre for medical technology, AAHII will specialise in diagnostics and treatment innovations aimed at reducing reliance on imported healthcare technology.

The institute will house a postgraduate medical centre integrated with a super-specialty hospital and a cutting-edge research wing, bringing doctors and engineers together to drive indigenous healthcare advancements.

Further, in collaboration with IIT-M Pravartak, IIT Guwahati Research Park will implement programmes focused on skilling, entrepreneurship, and deep tech innovation. Tailored to the Northeast’s needs, with particular emphasis on the semiconductor sector, this partnership seeks to strengthen industry-academia ties and bolster regional engagement in high-tech sectors.

In partnership with CUBE, IIT Guwahati aims to develop an advanced urban infrastructure and sustainability hub at the IIT Guwahati Research Park.
