NEW DELHI: A range of technologies were showcased by Indian Institute of Technology (IIIT) Delhi on Friday for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's visit.
Highlighting the partnership between the two countries on education, Albanese said, "On education, we're also hoping to break new ground - and I mean that in a very literal sense. I was so pleased to announce that Australia's Deakin University is on track to be the first foreign university in the world approved to open a physical campus in India, at Gujarat's GIFT City. And where Indian students aspire to study in Australia, our newest Maitri scholarships will provide that chance as well."
Urging for a growing number of Indian and Australian students to have experiences in the respective countries, Albanese said, "Think of it as human cross-pollination. Through it, we draw from each other's strengths and add to our own, and in the process, each of us becomes something greater."
Albanese also said that goals can be reached sooner by "working together."
"Over the next two years, domestic production of solar cells and solar modules in India is expected to more than double. Australia is blessed with abundant resources used in the production of renewable energy. It makes sense for Australia and India to work together," Albanese said.
Further Albanese said, "Prime Minister Modi's remarkable goal for India to install 500 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2030 will have a profound impact on the global energy transition."
The various technologies that were showcased included a robotic exoskeleton device for upper limb rehabilitation, smart solutions for building energy management and vanadium redox flow battery.
