Zetech University has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering industry-ready graduates through a strategic meeting with Centurion Systems Ltd., led by CEO Dr. Kevit Desai and Andre’ Varma. The discussions focused on strengthening industry partnerships, promoting entrepreneurship, and equipping students with market-relevant skills.
Recognising the evolving demands of the job market, Zetech University is keen on enhancing collaboration with industry players to bridge the skills gap and prepare students for real-world challenges. One key highlight of the discussions was the commercialisation of research and innovation, enabling students to transform their ideas into viable enterprises. This aligns with Zetech University’s goal of diversifying income streams through intellectual property commercialisation.
The partnership will also facilitate the onboarding of young people into purpose-driven programs tailored to meet industry needs. Furthermore, the collaboration extends to financing initiatives and access to markets, ensuring that students and startups receive the necessary support to scale their innovations. Centurion Systems, a leading technology transfer organization, along with CBaaS and LIWA, will spearhead outreach programs that provide value to both students and institutions of higher learning.
A key area of focus is cybersecurity, where students will benefit from specialized training to meet the increasing demand for skilled professionals in corporates, SMEs, and agritech sectors. Additionally, incubation hubs will be established to nurture startups, linking innovations to international markets and funding opportunities.
Zetech University stands to gain immensely from this partnership through a vibrant research and innovation space, improved placement rates, and a better-skilled workforce. The value proposition includes training of trainers, industry-specific centers of excellence, start-up bootcamps, hackathons, and commercialization prospects driven by innovation and intellectual property.
This collaboration marks a significant step in positioning Zetech University as a leader in Industry 4.0 transformation, ensuring its students are equipped with cutting-edge skills to thrive in the dynamic global economy.
