Qualcomm Provides IIIT Hyderabad with Grants to Develop Edge AI Use Cases
Qualcomm Technologies recently announced that it is providing the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIITH) with a grant of USD 186,000 toward developing Edge AI use cases and AI models on Qualcomm platforms which will be led by Professor Ramesh Loganathan from IIITH. The development kit, called the Qualcomm Innovators Development Kit (QIDK), is designed to help developers shorten their path to productivity by providing a package of hardware, software, and customer support built on the latest premium Snapdragon system-on-chip (SoC). This gives developers all the features, functions and performance of Snapdragon, all in one place. This is the latest among Qualcomm’s ongoing initiatives to strengthen the R&D ecosystem in India and empower the brightest minds to advance the frontiers of cutting-edge technology. By bringing together and supporting some of the best minds in the tech domain, we’re pushing the boundaries and shaping the future of AI. “Qualcomm and IIITH share the vision of a future where India is at the forefront of AI innovation, fueled by creativity, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Today’s announcement marks the beginning of a three-year journey of collaboration, research, and innovation for advancing Edge AI technologies,” said Leendert van Doorn, Senior Vice President of Qualcomm Technologies. Qualcomm Technologies also announced that it will support the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), a public funded research institution focused on telecom technology by the Government of India, with expertise and best practices, state-of-the-art technology, intellectual property training and tools, for enabling Indian developers, academia, and OEMs, and fast-tracking the development and commercialization of indigenous telecom solutions utilizing Qualcomm® wireless solutions and technologies. C-DOT and Qualcomm Technologies will work towards facilitating access for the selected startups, OEMs and academia with foundational technologies and domain experts that will stimulate innovation and help them scale up their R&D efforts.
