Every year, millions of engineers graduate. Let's be honest
How many are actually Industry Ready?
The world is moving at a pace no one ever anticipated. While we are all striving to keep up with the future, our students are preparing for jobs that may no longer exist by the time they graduate.

And millions would evolve and transform
The problem is real and it’s not easy to solve. The industry–academia gap has been building for decades, and with the exponential disruptions of the AI age, catching up is harder than ever.

We can’t fix this by just upgrading textbooks or training teachers. This is a multi-dimensional effort. We need more industry interventions on campus, more mock-ups of real-world settings, and ecosystems where students can experiment, fail, and learn.

"The value of a degree is fading in the eyes of students unless paired with industry relevance, practical exposure, and real opportunities."
Industry–Academia Connect is built for this.
We help institutions move beyond the boundaries of the campus : transforming culture, mindset, and ecosystem to build future-ready individuals. By giving students access to role models and industry leaders, we inspire them to think beyond traditional paths, to innovate, build, experiment, and even fail safely. Together, let’s embed this mindset into your institution’s DNA and simulate the opportunities of the real world right on campus.
