India is increasingly becoming an important location for the semiconductor industry. Not only is there a great demand for electronics there, but there are also government support programs and well-trained specialists. In these times, it is also important for internationally operating companies to diversify their supply chains - after all, it is often impossible to know in advance which geopolitical circumstances will cause a hiccup in the supply chain in the near future.

These developments are constantly being driven forward in technology hubs such as Bangalore and Gujarat, meaning that India could play a greater role in chip production in the future. Numerous companies have already set up operations in India, including the German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon alongside Samsung and Bosch. And their presence is set to expand over the next five years.

Research and development in Ahmedabad

Infineon has announced plans to expand its presence in India with a new Global Capability Center (GCC) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The center will employ around 500 engineers and professionals who will focus on research and development in the areas of semiconductor chip design, software, IT, supply chain management and system and application engineering. This will strengthen Infineon's innovation and technology leadership in India, where the company already employs over 2,500 people.

"Our new competence center will play a key role in Infineon's global innovation strategy and complement our R&D landscape," Infineon CEO Jochen Hanebeck is quoted as saying. He emphasizes the strategic importance of India as a growing center for semiconductor innovation and is aiming for more than one billion euros in sales in the country by 2030. The company also wants to promote the local innovation ecosystem with universities, start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises. (sb)
