HTS and IIT Hyderabad will together research technologies that solve problems of the future, with AI as the major focus area. Additionally, they have formed a mutual association to provide industry-specific domain training, remote project mentoring, engineering certificate courses, training workshops and hackathons for students of IIT Hyderabad and select employees of HTS.

The association will provide industry collaboration for IIT Hyderabad, an academic environment for Honeywell employees to conduct research, and enable students to upgrade their skills and improve their employment opportunities.

The two organisations will also develop courses pertaining to emerging technologies Honeywell uses in its portfolio to enable IIT Hyderabad students to gain industry exposure. The core content and other details on these courses will be mutually reviewed and regularly updated based on the requirements from IIT Hyderabad and the facilitators available from Honeywell. Honeywell had earlier funded a Materials Research Lab at IIT Hyderabad, while also enrolling a few employee-engineers for PhD courses at the institute.
