BlackBerry launches loT ‘Center of Excellence’ in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: BlackBerry Limited opened the new ‘BlackBerry loT Center of Excellence, Engineering and Innovation’ in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The world-class facility has been designed to advance mission-critical embedded software development for loT industries.
The new facility is now fully operational, hosting some of India’s best and brightest software engineers and creating the Asia Pacific hub for the BlackBerry QNX global developer network.
The BlackBerry IoT CoE in Hyderabad has been established to help businesses scale up their operations to meet growing industry demand for its embedded software solutions and services and invest in India’s skilled loT innovators.
They have recruited locally in the Hyderabad region and from across the country, offering new career opportunities for talented candidates who want to build the next generation of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and advance innovation in medical, industrial control systems and robotics.
Speaking on why they have set up the IoT in Hyderabad, Mattias Eriksson, President of BlackBerry loT says, “This is the first time we are setting up a major centre outside North America, and we picked Hyderabad as it has great talent and due to the progressive policies of the state government and the city itself, that has driven a very fast ecosystem development.”
Adding that “many of our co-partners were already here due to the talent and policies, so with the thriving ecosystem, this was the perfect place for us to continue to serve our customers.”
