AMIS Madagascar
The AMIS Madagascar project
AMIS Madagascar (Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Skills) is a development project aiming to train Malagasy talent in mechanics and precision manufacturing. It is not yet an operational centre: training, workshop and production will be built progressively with educational, financial and industrial partners.
Key information
- Nature
- Industrial training project in development
- Location
- Antananarivo (Madagascar), ≈ 30 min from Ivato airport
- Site
- Dedicated site ≈ 6 400 m²; existing building ≈ 160 m²
- Learners
- Limited number of candidates, selected on aptitude and talent
- Envisaged duration
- Intensive training of 9 to 12 months
- Progression
- Training → practice workshop → prototyping and production as needed
- Needs
- Educational, financial, technological and industrial partners
Nature of the project
AMIS Madagascar is preparing a sustainable local skills pipeline in machining, Swiss-type turning, metrology, maintenance, automation, robotics and Industry 4.0. The principle is clear: train skills first, install machines next, produce only when there is a real need.
Location and identified infrastructure
The project builds on resources already identified in Antananarivo: a dedicated site of about 6 400 m² and an existing building of about 160 m², approximately 30 minutes from Ivato international airport. Fit-out may start with a workshop of about 200 m², on a progressive basis.
Target learners and selection
Each cohort will welcome a deliberately limited number of learners. Candidates will be rigorously selected on aptitude, talent, motivation and technical potential. The goal is not volume, but quality of training and industrial integration.
Partnership model
AMIS Madagascar is seeking partnerships to build the programme, finance the start-up, equip the workshop and support trainers. No partner, funding or accreditation is presented here as already secured. See the Partners page.
Envisaged progression
- Preparation: studies, partners, trainers (prudent timeline 2026–2027).
- Installation: building fit-out, first equipment, pilot workshop if the project is validated.
- Training and practice: first cohorts, prototyping, then progressive production according to demand.
These milestones are indicative and subject to revision depending on partners and the market. No opening date is confirmed.
Priority needs
- Educational engineering and training cooperation
- Start-up and equipment funding
- Machines, metrology, software and consumables
- Experts and trainers
