On 15 January 2010, the Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (MAIT) and Gujarat Vittal Innovation City (GVICL) signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) to promote development of information technology and electronics hardware industry in Gujarat.

MAIT and GVICL together are planning to recommend a framework to the Gujarat Government to help, support and nurture the electronics industry. Jointly, they propose to develop adequate manpower for supporting the IT and electronics industry in Gujarat.

The proposed GVICL cluster, to be promoted together with the Gujarat Government, is likely to be developed into a special cluster for electronics. It is expected to facilitate the development of entire electronics ecosystem, so that all segments of the value chain are present to provide a sustainable framework for innovation, education, research, development and manufacturing.

The proposed electronics cluster is likely to be promoted to relevant trade bodies and industry in other countries, especially Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
