Accenture, IIT-M collaborate to conduct deep technology research

Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) and the Fortune 500 company Accenture have set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) to undertake collaborative research projects and jointly develop intellectual properties and thought leadership focused on digital engineering and manufacturing across industries.

Specific areas of collaboration will include autonomous robotics systems (ARS), industrial internet of things (IIoT), digital twin systems (DTS) and advanced automotive technologies such as electric mobility services.

The CoE will also work as an incubator and identify disruptive early-stage start-ups to drive innovation and research in these areas, the IIT-M said.
