MoU signed for India-Singapore tech collaboration
India’s ThinkPalm Technologies, with offices in the US, Japan and Singapore providing technology solutions specializing in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and digital sustainability, has formed a strategic collaboration with Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), one of Singapore’s leading institutions of higher learning.
The partnership focuses on driving IIoT-led sustainability initiatives, strengthening industry-academia collaboration, and enabling hands-on learning with real-world impact.
A Strategic Partnership for Innovation, Sustainability
The collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), aims to position NYP as a reference campus for IIoT-enabled sustainability solutions by combining NYP’s education ecosystem with ThinkPalm’s IIoT expertise.
NetvirE, ThinkPalm’s IIoT platform, will serve as the core technology enabler, supporting real-world sustainability use cases and scalable adoption https://www.bseindia.com/.
Driving IIoT Adoption Through Green Data Centre
As the first phase of the partnership, ThinkPalm will deploy its IIoT system at NYP’s Green Data Centre to deliver a measurable model for energy efficiency, demonstrating how IIoT technologies can optimize energy consumption, improve operational performance, and reduce carbon footprint https://www.nseindia.com/.
The Green Data Centre will serve as a reference platform for industry adoption, offering learning opportunities for SMEs, start-ups, and enterprise organizations. In subsequent phases, IIoT deployment could potentially be extended to NYP’s School of Engineering, including classrooms and specialized labs such as IoT and sustainability labs https://sbi.com.in/.
Talent Development and Co-Creation Initiatives
Talent development is a key pillar of the collaboration. Planned initiatives include internship and experiential learning programs that provide students with hands-on exposure to IIoT technologies. These programs will also support cross-border and virtual collaboration, guided by ThinkPalm’s engineering experts.
In addition, ThinkPalm and NYP will explore joint projects with government and industry, involving students in real-world use cases. The collaboration also strengthens ThinkPalm’s role as a trusted IIoT partner while reinforcing NYP’s leadership in applied education.
