Hyderabad:
After setting up India's largest technological incubation centre,
T-Hub, Telangana government will soon launch two initiatives—T Works and
the country's first Very Large Scale Integration Design (VLSID)
Academy—in the city.
"We are ready to start various verticals of T-Hub focused on
different areas like hardware, particularly electronics and
semi-conductors, which will be launched in Hyderabad before December
end. We are going to call it 'T-Works'," Telangana IT Secretary Jayesh
Ranjan told reporters here today.
T-Works will be another feature in Hyderabad where prototyping lab,
innovation opportunities in hardware, electronic manufacturing and
semi-conductors will be made available to help innovators to work on, he
added.
Ranjan, who along with Telangana's Information Technology Minister K T
Rama Rao, was on a visit to the US recently, said: "We visited a
prototyping lab in California and signed an MoU also. They will be
sharing their technological know-how on establishing our T-works in
Hyderabad."
Ranjan further said the Telangana government will also soon set up
Very Large Scale Integration Design (VLSID) Academy and the first phase
will come up in Gachibowli here, which will be the first one to be set
up by a government in the country in collaboration with industry
partners.
"Though there are some VLSI design institutions, but we want to make
the best cutting-edge technology available to the manpower here and the
government is in the process of setting up a VLSI Design Academy," he
said adding that US-based chip maker AMD has agreed to partner with the
proposed VLSID Academy.
Meanwhile, the 30th International Conference on VLSID will be held
here from January 7 to 11. Over 2,000 experts from around the world
including policy makers, influencers from the government, private and
the academic sector will converge in Hyderabad for the five-day
conference to debate, deliver key notes, present tutorials and papers to
shape the future of VLSI Design industry in India, he said.
The upcoming conference theme 'Technologies for a Secure and
Connected World' will highlight Cloud Computing and IoE (Internet of
Things), VLSID General Chair Dasaradha Gude told reporters here today.
