“IUDX is an integral part of the government’s Data Smart strategy and designed to have a broad and long-lasting impact on urban life. It will allow us to use data to create insights that help us address the highly complex problems faced by our cities today.  Through its secure yet cost effective approach, IUDX will also play a crucial role in promoting open innovation, allowing companies, researchers and others to collaborate effectively. We are proud to work with IISc to launch the IUDX initiative.”

The IUDX program is an excellent example of how collaboration between academia, government and industry can create something of significant value. All stakeholders in the Indian Smart City ecosystem will gain from this initiative. It has enabled academic institutions and research labs to conduct more meaningful research by having direct access to a wide variety of data. IISc is proud of its contribution to the conception of  IUDX, and is privileged to nurture this effort as it evolves into a major national asset.
