The Center of the International Cooperation for Computerization (CICC) is a non-profit organization founded in June 1983 under the auspices of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of the Japanese government, with substantial support from many other organizations and companies. CICC was established to cooperate and assist Asian countries in the introduction of computers and information technology, and to promote computerization thereby for their economic and social development. CICC headquarters is located in Tokyo and CICC also has overseas offices in Singapore and Beijing.
The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), is primarily an R & D institution involved in the design, development and deployment of advanced Information Technology (IT) based solutions. In a little over a decade since inception, C-DAC has developed and supplied a range of high performance parallel computers, known as the PARAM series of supercomputers. Over the years, C-DAC has diversified its activities to address requirements in various areas, consequently, our expertise also extends to other advanced areas of Information Technology, enabling IT based solutions in areas like Financial and Capital market simulation and modeling, Network and Internet Software, Healthcare, Real Time Systems, eGovernance, Data Warehousing, Digital library, Artificial Intelligence and Natural language processing. C-DAC's Advanced Computing Training School (ACTS) is dedicated to creating high quality manpower for C-DAC in particular and the IT industry in general through the designing and delivering various courses.
Japan and India two of the largest democracies in Asia, have continued to develop friendly relations founded on a long history of exchanges. With a view to further enhance their friendly cooperative relations, both countries agreed to the Japan-India Global Partnership in August 2000 and the two countries issued a joint statement called the “Japan-India Partnership in a New Asian Era”.
Bilateral trade figures have continued to remain positive and Japan is among India's top five trading partners. Total trade between India and Japan was close to $ 6 billion in 2005-06. India's service exports of software to Japan have grown dramatically in recent years, marking a 65 percent increase in 2005 alone. As engagement between the two countries increases, the year 2007 has been declared the Indo-Japan friendship Year. Japanese FDI into India during 2005-07 has been to the tune of $ 1.8 billion. The equity investment from Japan into India is also on the rise, touching almost $ 4.9 billion.
India's interest in Japan is also attributable to its "look East policy". To deepen economic relations between Japan and India, it is important to bolster comprehensive cooperative relations in a wide range of sectors besides trade and investment, such as information technology, science and engineering technology, energy, environmental protection, and people-to-people exchanges.
