India marked a milestone in its semiconductor push as seven chip designs from startups under the design-linked incentive (DLI) scheme were successfully fabricated, including advanced nodes at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). The progress underscores India’s aim to develop indigenous chip design and manufacturing capabilities amid global supply constraints.

As generative AI expands into physical environments, robotic systems are moving beyond traditional digital roles to interact with their surroundings physically through perception and action. This shift toward Physical AI, supported by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s repeated public endorsements, is reviving global interest in robotics, an industry historically centered on industrial automation. Supply chain players are accelerating strategic efforts to capitalize on this renewed momentum amid an ongoing industry restructuring.

Dassault Systèmes announced that it will undertake its largest-ever technology integration with Nvidia, deepening a partnership that spans more than 25 years. Under the expanded collaboration, the two companies will embed accelerated computing, generative artificial intelligence, and digital twin technologies throughout engineering design and manufacturing workflows, jointly positioning themselves at the forefront of Physical AI and so-called world foundation models.
