HCL Technologies Ltd said on Tuesday its wholly-owned subsidiary HCL Australia Pty will enter into a partnership with La Trobe University, Australia, on Wednesday to work together on issues of mutual interest.

HCL Technologies in a communique on Bombay Stock Exchange said Australian industries engaged in information and communication technology and business systems would receive a boost through this.

"This partnership with La Trobe University, Australia, is aligned with HCL's strategic intent to value add to the local economy, and to leverage local innovation and talent along with HCL's unique value centric approach to offer business transformational benefits to local Australian customers," HCL Australia Services Head Somnath Mallick said.

Under this agreement, HCL and La Trobe University would conduct joint R&D seminars to provide opportunities for relevant experts in each organisation to address interested parties in government and the community on ICT related issues.

The agreement which was initiated and supported by the state government of Victoria, would combine HCL's expertise with knowledge and research capabilities of the university, the notice said.
