Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Infineon has announced the opening of the Burapha University Infineon Innovation Launchpad (BIIL) situated at EAST Park Building. BILL aims to nurture Internet of Things (IoT) startup ecosystem in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).

The launchpad is backed by Burapha University’s Eastern Science and Technology Park (EAST Park) and Bangsaen Design House (BDH) Academy. The launchpad on campus allows for close collaboration among Infineon employees, researchers, students and startups on future IoT topics in key areas such as healthcare, smart city, advanced farming, medicine and manufacturing.

“Infineon focuses on innovative solutions enabling green and efficient energy, clean and safe mobility and smart and secure IoT. Together with Burapha University, a well-known research university leading in holistic IoT and AI (Artificial Intelligence), especially on healthcare and smart city applications for more than eight years, we will undertake several initiatives to foster local ecosystem including academic training on IoT topics that are industrially relevant,” said Francis Foo, Vice President and Head of Power and Sensor Systems at Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.

Besides training students, BIIL will also offer training for engineers, particularly from startups and small and medium enterprises. Following an application-oriented approach, startups can leverage Burapha University’s innovative IoT competence and Infineon’s components and system expertise at the launchpad to further their projects.

BIIL also acts as a stepping stone in identifying and developing new talents. Infineon Thailand offers internship as part of the co-op education to give university students hands-on learning and real-world work experience to complement what they have learned from textbooks.
