At Hyderabad's T-Works, the largest hardware prototype facility in the nation, Dassault Systemes intends to establish a Startup Centre of Excellence.

According to T-Works CEO Sujai Karampuri, the Centre of Excellence (CoE) will be unique in its field, feature cutting-edge technology, and give startups access to the company's Solidworks software, which is used for 3D product design and related tasks.

Under the scheme, Dassault Systemes plans to interact with early-stage hardware entrepreneurs through T-Works. The business will assist startups in a variety of sectors, including aerospace and military, mobility, and other fields.

Besides offering software, the programme will provide training and co-marketing resources to participating startups.

The CoE will enable an innovation ecosystem for next-generation startups to design, build and create prototypes of their products leveraging the state-of-the-art equipment, design tools and mentoring.
