HPE has undertaken numerous initiatives to promote the deployment and adoption of technologies such as IoT to advance the way people live and work. In 2019, HPE partnered with Agastya International Foundation to set up a CoE in Gudipalli, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh to skill students in IoT-based agriculture and also support local farmers to help them achieve higher food production from finite land resources. This CoE has generated significant benefits for local farmers by enabling them to increase crop yields, nutritional value, and revenue from their produce by applying technology.
Additionally, to offer cutting-edge IoT solutions to customers and partners from across industries, last year HPE had launched a customer experience center (CEC) in Bengaluru. This CEC also demonstrates proof of concepts using IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) technologies which can propel the growth of local economies.
