AIC Forum: Connecting, Bridging & Advancing Together to Bridge the Gap Between Academia and Industry

Founding Story.

Despite rapid industry evolution, a significant gap persists between academic learning and real-world skills demanded by employers. Lack of structured collaboration between academia and industry limits innovation, talent readiness, and economic progress. AIC Forum was founded to bridge this divide, creating a shared platform to develop skilled talent and drive sustainable growth.

This disconnect was not just slowing business growth but also limiting the country’s progress toward building a future-ready workforce. Recognizing the urgent need for structured collaboration, senior academicians, corporate leaders, Students, Entrepreneurs and Subject Matter Experts came together. Their vision was to create a dynamic platform where academia and industry could connect, collaborate, and co-create solutions.
