Industry Support

Industry Support [7.4.3]

Consultation and technical support services for industries to improve energy efficiency and transition to clean energy sources.

The Industry Support axis highlights the role of universities in accelerating clean energy development through collaboration with the private sector. Universities contribute through research partnerships, industrial training programs, testing support for new technologies, and workforce development pipelines. By integrating academic expertise with industry needs, universities serve as innovation engines that help move renewable technologies from research labs to real-world implementation. This axis supports SDG 7 by enabling practical clean energy deployment, while promoting SDG 8 through job creation and economic growth in green sectors. Industry support efforts provide students with internships, field training, and exposure to applied problem-solving, strengthening their career readiness. At the same time, companies benefit from university research capabilities and access to skilled graduates. This mutually reinforcing relationship helps build sustainable energy ecosystems that extend beyond campus boundaries. The Industry Support axis ensures that the clean energy transition is not only theoretical but economically viable, technically guided, and socially inclusive.
