Write a tribute at NEW DELHI: Matrix Geo Solutions Limited, a leading Indian geospatial technology and engineering consultancy, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DRIIV Foundation (Delhi Research Implementation and Innovation). DRIIV Foundation is the flagship Science & Technology cluster programme of the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India, operating under the guidance of PM-STIAC.
Under this MoU, DRIIV Foundation will act as the Project Management Partner and Implementing Agency, while Matrix Geo Solutions will serve as the Delivery Partner, jointly executing national and state-level projects for government, public bodies, and third-party stakeholders.
The collaboration establishes a framework to translate advanced research into field-deployable solutions across drone and UAV surveys, LiDAR and 3D digital twins, GeoAI and spatial analytics, satellite data applications, cloud-native GIS platforms, and collaborative R&D and capacity-building initiatives. The MoU is intended to enable pilots, demonstration deployments and government programmes that can convert into scoped, executable projects.
Mr. Rahul Jain, MD at Matrix Geo Solutions said,“Partnering with DRIIV Foundation, a PMO-monitored and nationally significant S&T platform, advances Atmanirbhar Bharat by accelerating the conversion of advanced research into scalable, real-world solutions across key sectors. We are grateful to have this opportunity to be able to contribute to this greater vision for our nation. By combining DRIIV’s policy, research, and institutional ecosystem with Matrix Geo’s execution and delivery strength, we aim to create scalable, sustainable, and future-ready solutions for water, infrastructure, environment, and governance.”
