Design software company Dassault Systemes is planning to concentrate on mining and energy sectors in the eastern region.
According to Chandan Chowdhury, Managing Director, Dassault Systemes India Pvt Ltd, the Company has set up an office in Kolkata in June and a group of mining experts among its employees will be based here.
The France-based company provides 3-dimension design solutions to industries like manufacturing, urban planning, consumer goods, automotive and infrastructure.
