A memorandum for this purpose will be signed between Andhra Pradesh Government and WASME on February 12.
WASME deals with 35 different industry segments for the development of MSMEs. A recent addition is medical device manufacturing unit, Sampa Banerjee, Executive Director, WASME told SMEpost.com.
“In the agreement, WASME will be the knowledge, international and national MSME partner for Andhra government,” Banerjee said.
250 acres of land has already been identified as an incubation centre. Government will install high cost machinery. The exact location is yet to be announced.
MSMEs can rent that machinery for production as a Common Facility Centre, which has been a problem for many MSMEs.
WASME is already working with Ministry of Health through National Health System Resource Centre (NHSRC).
