Dassault Systemes has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tamil Nadu government to set up The Tamil Nadu Centre of Advance Manufacturing (TANCAM) at TIDEL Park in the city, the company said on Tuesday.

TANCAM, a first of its kind Centre of Excellence in India, would provide a dedicated IT engineering ecosystem to support the micro, small and medium enterprises sector, startups and the students and enable the growth of industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive and electric vehicles.

The Centre would have facilities for an engineering digital platform to support product design, composites, simulation and digital manufacturing, along with a 3D printer and virtual reality-set up, a company statement said here.

It would provide upskilling opportunities to aspiring students, startups and to the micro, small and medium enterprises sector.

As a part of the collaboration, Dassault Systemes would support Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) plan to focus on precision manufacturing that requires upgrading the skills of MSME through the Centre.

The facility would facilitate mentorship and training of the students with dedicated domain-training courses in aerospace, defense, automotive, electric vehicles and related industries.

The TANCAM Startup Cell along with Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE Lab would fuel an innovation ecosystem for next-generation products and new business models.
