 Another significant agreement was made with Applied Materials India to establish an AI-based Center of Excellence for semiconductor manufacturing in Chennai. This development is expected to create over 500 technical jobs in the state, which is in line with Tamil Nadu’s vision to build a robust semiconductor industry. 

 These initiatives show Tamil Nadu’s intent to lead technological advancement and enhance its position as a key hub for AI and manufacturing in Asia.
