"This collaboration will create an opportunity for some of the best minds engaged in academia and at Infosys to come together to identify and create relevant solutions in the areas of engineering, business, architecture and pharma. We look forward to exploring this relationship and the promise it holds for both parties."
"The association of Cambridge with large Indian corporations continues to grow, as part of a larger picture of increased collaboration between academia and industry," said Professor Richard.
I am very pleased to be launching this partnership with Infosys during our 800th anniversary year. We, at Cambridge, are convinced that sustained collaborative research in business, science and technology has a pivotal role to play in the world today, and I am certain that this collaboration will create further exciting opportunities for us both in the years ahead."
