During the COFIRD – Co-creation for Finnish-Indian R&D project’s India tour, representatives from COFIRD and Tampere University held a productive meeting in New Delhi with senior members of Jio Platforms Limited (JPL) — Jeevan Talegaonkar, Girish Dave and Kapil Kapoor.
The discussions focused on strengthening collaboration between Finnish and Indian universities and industry partners, especially in areas central to the COFIRD initiative: advanced network technologies, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. Both sides identified strong potential for building joint innovation pathways that connect companies and higher education institutions across the two countries.
The meeting marked an important step toward expanding the COFIRD network into domains where India and Finland have complementary strengths. With growing interest in research cooperation and co-development platforms, the partnership with Jio opens doors to impactful, future-oriented projects.
A warm thank you goes to Business Finland for facilitating the connection and supporting efforts to deepen Finnish-Indian R&D collaboration.
