GITA

In order to stimulate private sector’s investment in R&D, TDB established Global Innovation & Technology Alliance (GITA) as a Section 25 Company in a Joint Venture between CII and TDB with equity contribution of 51:49 respectively.

The GITA will assist DST in implementing Industrial R&D Programme with different countries under bilateral & multilateral Science & Technology Cooperation agreements.
