Germany’s Infineon Technologies AG and India’s National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT) have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen cooperation on semiconductor skills development, workforce training and knowledge transfer a key milestone for India’s goal of building a competitive semiconductor ecosystem. The agreement was signed in Ahmedabad and was witnessed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz during the Chancellor’s official visit to India. Under the partnership framework, Infineon and NIELIT will jointly design and deliver training programmes and curriculum enhancements focused on semiconductor assembly, testing and packaging, as well as host expert seminars and “train-the-trainer” initiatives to strengthen India’s workforce capabilities. |The initiative also includes the donation of advanced equipment for hands-on practical training, supporting a pipeline of skilled professionals ready to meet industry needs. Infineon, a global leader in power systems and Internet of Things (IoT) semiconductor technologies, is deepening its commitment to India not just as a market but as a strategic hub for innovation, R&D and talent development. According to Infineon’s CEO, Jochen Hanebeck, this collaboration aligns with India’s ambition to develop a vibrant domestic semiconductor ecosystem and contribute to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 the government’s long-term vision for economic and technological self-reliance. NIELIT, an autonomous scientific society under India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), brings deep experience in digital empowerment and industry-aligned skilling, with existing programmes in VLSI, embedded systems and semiconductor design. The Infineon partnership builds on this foundation and the broader momentum generated by national initiatives such as the Semicon India programme, which aims to bolster semiconductor manufacturing and ecosystem capacity across the country. The collaboration further strengthens Indo-German ties in critical technology sectors and highlights how multinational companies are working with Indian institutions to bridge skills gaps and promote innovation. As semiconductor demand grows globally and India positions itself as both a design leader and future manufacturing destination such partnerships are expected to play a crucial role in preparing a workforce capable of supporting advanced electronics and digital technologies at scale. #Semiconductor #India #Germany #Skilling #TalentDevelopment #Infineon #NIELIT #TechPartnership #ViksitBharat2047 #SemiconIndia #WorkforceDevelopment #Ecosystem #Innovation #Technology
