Birmingham City University in tie-up with the Hero Group to set-up new innovation school
Birmingham City University on Thursday announced a tie-up with the Hero Group to establish a new business school to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the state of Punjab. The Munjal BCU School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MBSI) will be set up in the city of Ludhiana to cater to the needs of the industrial sector of the state.The new project aims to re-design the higher education offering in the region with a STEAM-oriented (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) approach to the syllabus.
"After nearly nine months of negotiations I am delighted to announce that Birmingham City University and the Hero Group, through the Munjal Foundation, are working towards establishing the Munjal BCU Centre of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in 2020, which is effectively our STEAMHouse in India, said Professor Julian Beer, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Birmingham City University."This is great news for the West Midlands and Birmingham's relationship with India, and a real trade connection post the General Election and potentially Brexit, with two powerhouses of the Commonwealth," said the VC.
The Munjal BCU School of Innovation (MBSI) in Ludhiana is planned to meet the growing innovation needs of industrial enterprises in Punjab.According to Birmingham City University, Punjab is home to around 50,000 SMEs (amall and medium sized enterprises) spread across the clusters of Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Mohali, Patiala, Mandi, Gobindgarh, among other towns.Many such SMEs are reasonably successful and managed by third and fourth generation entrepreneurs.
