The company said the platform combines 64-bit processing with low-power connectivity for applications such as industrial automation, smart cities, asset tracking, smart lighting, smart metering, agriculture, logistics and healthcare.The collaboration marks another step in Gujarat’s efforts to build a semiconductor design ecosystem. The state has been promoting semiconductor manufacturing and design through its Semiconductor Policy (2022-27), support from the Gujarat State Electronics Mission (GSEM), and coordination with the India Semiconductor Mission.The state govt said Gujarat has attracted investments across the semiconductor value chain, with three semiconductor manufacturing facilities entering commercial operations since the beginning of this year. It said the growth of home-grown fabless startups complements its strategy of building capabilities across semiconductor design, manufacturing, research, talent development and the supply chain.
