Industry-academia partnerships play a crucial role in driving technological innovation in India, with IIT Delhi at the forefront. The institute actively collaborates with domestic and international companies to develop advanced technologies, nurture talent, and bring cutting-edge solutions to society.
Since its founding in 1979, Samco has been a key player in the Indian market, supplying equipment to leading research institutions, including multiple IITs. Most recently, the company delivered the PD-2203L, a multi-chamber plasma CVD system designed for high-efficiency silicon heterojunction cells, and tandem solar cells in combination with perovskites and transition metal oxides-an area of growing interest in India.
The PD-2203L, a multi-chamber plasma CVD system for high-efficiency silicon heterojunction and tandem solar cells fabrication,
is currently running 24/7 at IIT Delhi since its delivery.
A formal signing of this agreement is expected within the coming months. This collaboration is anticipated to accelerate Japan-India technology exchange and contribute to advancements in industrial science and innovation in both countries.
