OP-10 · Academy
Train
Practical specialisation: drawings, tolerances, CNC, metrology, quality and industrial discipline.
Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Skills
Train in Madagascar. Innovate in Madagascar. Manufacture in Madagascar. 🇲🇬
Give Malagasy talent the skills, resources and opportunities to build their industrial future in Madagascar.
Build the skills first. Produce afterwards.
Overview
Precision manufacturing that starts with people.
AMIS Madagascar develops lasting local skills in precision manufacturing. The project begins with training, then equips a teaching workshop, and later grows into a production unit when demand and orders justify it.

Innovate
Pilot workshop, first machines, prototypes, inspection and manufacturing methods.

Manufacture
Small batches, Swiss turning, automation, then subcontracting and export if the market supports it.
The Academy
A complementary, workshop-led specialisation.
The Academy is not a university intended to replace existing Malagasy institutions. It is an intensive 9-to-12-month specialisation for graduates who already have a foundation and want to enter industrial practice.
Each intake will intentionally remain limited, with candidates carefully selected for their talent, potential, motivation, and technical and practical abilities.
Train first. Install machines next. Produce only when there is a real need.
What the project builds
- Lasting local skills that remain useful in Madagascar
- A training workshop that can later manufacture, step by step
- A culture of precision, measurement and quality
- Industrial, educational and financial partnerships
- A path toward precision parts, without claiming a factory already exists
Skills taught
From the drawing to the inspected part, then to a connected shop floor.
The syllabus links drawing reading, machining, Swiss turning, metrology, CAD/CAM, automation and Industry 4.0. Artificial intelligence is treated as a tool applied to manufacturing, not as a separate subject.

Planned infrastructure
A real site in Antananarivo, developed in stages.
The project already has an approximately 6,000 m² site dedicated to the project and an existing building of approximately 160 m² in Antananarivo, roughly 30 minutes from Ivato International Airport. The site will sit near the future Tamatave–Antananarivo road corridor.
Fit-out can start with a workshop of about 200 m². Later, some students coming from other regions may be housed on site if conditions allow.
Resources already identified
- An approximately 6,000 m² site dedicated to the project
- An existing building of approximately 160 m²
- Location: Antananarivo
- Ivato Airport about 30 minutes away
- Future proximity to the Tamatave–Antananarivo axis
- Progressive workshop of about 200 m²
Workshop and production
Capacity grows only when it will be used.
AMIS Madagascar is not presented as a large factory already built. Each machine is added when there is enough training demand, need or order volume to keep it running.
A new machine will be added only when there is enough demand or enough orders to keep it running.
- Teaching equipment, IT and metrology
- First CNC machine
- Prototypes and maintenance parts
- Small batches
- CNC lathe and machining centre
- Swiss turning
- Automation and advanced inspection
- Industrial subcontracting and export
Environment and energy
Clean production, measured consumption.
The workshop is designed to run first during solar production hours, with a scalable energy architecture and responsible treatment of fluids and chips.
Intended principles
- Scalable solar power and LFP batteries
- Industrial three-phase supply
- Backup generator
- Recovery and treatment of oils and cutting fluids
- No direct discharge onto the land
- Chip sorting by material
- Recycling of aluminium, steel, stainless steel and brass
International partnerships
Three geographies, one skills chain.
Each partner contributes what it does best. Madagascar remains the place of training, operations and production.
