February 2026 : In a move that bridges cutting-edge Japanese engineering with India’s elite academic talent, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH). This three-year partnership, set to run until February 2029, aims to supercharge global R&D and fast-track the "societal implementation" of next-generation technologies.
The collaboration targets the frontiers of modern science, focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum technologies, and cybersecurity. By combining Mitsubishi Electric’s industrial prowess with IITH’s research agility, the duo aims to solve complex global challenges while nurturing the next generation of tech leaders.
Toru Oka, Executive Officer and Vice President of Corporate Research and Development at Mitsubishi Electric, met with Prof. Budaraju Srinivasa Murty, Director of IITH, to solidify the agreement. The partnership isn't starting from scratch; the two have already seen success through student internships and joint research on autonomous navigation with TiHAN, IITH’s premier smart-mobility hub.
Founded in 2008, IITH has rapidly ascended the global rankings, becoming a beacon for entrepreneurship and industry-academia synergy. For Mitsubishi Electric - a company that recorded a revenue of 5,521.7 billion yen in the last fiscal year - this move is about foresight.
The company is doubling down on "foresight technologies" to anticipate global shifts. Through this co-creation with international partners, they aim to uphold their spirit of "Changes for the Better," ensuring that high-tech research doesn't just stay in the lab but actually moves into the hands of the global community to build a more sustainable world.
