Home /Industries, Academia & Skills

One of GUSTI’s key objectives is to build and encourage collaboration between industry with academia which will result in an ecosystem driven by knowledge, technology and innovation. Such collaboration will facilitate and motivate GUSTI’s member organizations to develop leading-edge industrial technology and advances that surpass current global standards.

GUSTI aims to bridge the industry and academia gap through communication and collaboration with the objective of creating experience-based competence. Such an approach offers many possibilities for fresh industrial engineers and researchers, and is a practical solution for competence-starved industry.

Today, Academic graduates are not seeking engagement with industry. Neither are they ready as their exposure to industry, practical competencies and experience-based knowledge is negligible even though they are theoretically sound. Engineering, just like medicine, needs practical training from the ground up to enable overall competence. This gap is best highlighted by the common situation where industry players have acquired high-tech capital goods but couldn’t use them effectively due to inadequacies of specifications, a lack of accessories and spares, poor training, and basic competence.
