Kaynes Semicon, a subsidiary of Kaynes Technology, has inaugurated its first international chip design centre in Muscat, Oman. 

The facility was established in collaboration with Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) and the Ministry of Labour.

The new VLSI (very large-scale integration) design centre will focus on both front-end and back-end chip design and aims to train 80 to 100 students annually in advanced semiconductor technologies. 

The Omani government has fully funded the initiative.

“This centre will help students with designing complex integrated circuits, chip fabrication, and wafer preparation,” [Raghu Panicker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raghu-panicker-641a58/?ref=theleftshift.com), CEO of Kaynes Semicon, said.

Meanwhile, in India, Kaynes is progressing toward launching its chip assembly facility in Gujarat.

Last year, Kaynes SemiCon [signed](https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20240826VL204/kaynes-semicon-osat-packaging-lightspeed-india-ic-manufacturing.html?ref=theleftshift.com) a milestone memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Lightspeed Photonics, marking India’s first paying customer for its assembly services.
