Indian IIT Students Participate in Japan's MIRAI-Setu Program Ahead of 75th Anniversary
As India and Japan approach the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2027, the Japanese government, academia, and private sector are hosting the 'Foster System MIRAI-Setu' program. In October, 40 Indian IIT and IIIT students participated in a month-long exchange, engaging with universities and companies mainly in Kyushu and Kansai. Shizuoka University, part of the program since 2015, offers industry interaction and has seen 44 Indian students employed locally. The initiative aims to strengthen bilateral ties and foster high-level Indian talent in Japan.
