New partner TANSAM, by TIDCO and Siemens, is a valuable addition to India’s innovation landscape; a hub for SMEs and other stakeholders delivering for the country’s EV, marine, green energy, biotech, and robotics sectors. We had an opportunity to tour the site yesterday with TANSAM CEO Mr Venkatesh & Broadline’s Dr Arumugam to see just how impressive it really is! Located in Chennai’s TIDEL park, and built at a cost of £27m, TANSAM comprises seven different centres, each with a specific focus: innovative manufacturing, smart technologies, augmented & virtual reality, IoT management, product lifecycle management, product innovation and predictive analytics. Offering education and training as well, the facility now stands at the forefront of tamilnadu’s drive to develop it’s manufacturing sector and realise a trillion-dollar economy by 2030-31.
