Infineon opens design and development centre in India
Infineon Technologies has opened a new technology centre in the state of Gujarat in India.
The Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Ahmedabad, based in the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), will employ 500 engineers over the next five years. The centre will focus on R&D for semiconductor chip design and product software, as well as Information Technology, Supply Chain Management, and Systems & Application Engineering.
Infineon India has over 2.500 employees in the country, and the new capabilities in Ahmedabad mean Infineon is now represented at five locations, with Bengaluru the largest.
“Our new capability centre will play a key role in Infineon’s global innovation strategy and supplement our R&D landscape,” said Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon at the inauguration of the centre (above, centre).
