The Southern India Electronic Industries Chamber (SIEIC) is actively driving the growth of the Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector in southern India through strategic initiatives and collaborations. With southern India emerging as a major hub for electronics manufacturing, SIEIC is working closely with state governments, industry stakeholders, and academic institutions to accelerate investments, innovation, and infrastructure development in the region.
The chamber has launched programs to support local startups, aiming to foster innovation in sectors such as semiconductors, IoT devices, renewable energy systems, and advanced robotics. These initiatives include mentoring programs, funding facilitation, and partnerships with global tech leaders. SIEIC is also advocating for policies to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and ensure a conducive ecosystem for global players to set up manufacturing units in southern India.
A critical area of focus is addressing the skill gap in the ESDM sector. SIEIC has partnered with leading technical universities and vocational training centers to design industry-relevant courses and certification programs. These efforts aim to equip the local workforce with expertise in chip design, embedded systems, and automation technologies, ensuring the region remains competitive in the global market.
To further enhance the sector’s growth, SIEIC is lobbying for infrastructure upgrades, including establishing special economic zones (SEZs), common testing facilities, and high-speed connectivity hubs. The chamber has also been instrumental in organizing trade fairs, investor summits, and innovation expos, showcasing the capabilities of southern India as a premier destination for electronics manufacturing and system design.
With the global electronics market projected to surpass $3 trillion by 2030, SIEIC’s initiatives are expected to position southern India as a key player in the ESDM sector. The chamber’s efforts not only aim to boost exports and create jobs but also contribute to India’s goal of becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse in the electronics domain.
