The R&D expansion reinforces its long-driven partnership with leading universities that identifies the growing talent-pool and leverages world-class platform to meets the needs of all engineers and scientists.
“We strongly believe we can help the Indian startup ecosystem overcome technological hurdles and succeed faster,” said Scott Rust, senior vice president of Global R&D at NI. “Our platform provides the fastest way for engineers and scientist to access new technology and accelerate productivity, innovation, and discovery. By providing access to NI’s platform and technologies, we are investing in future innovators and contributing towards sustainable development in all markets that we serve.”
