In its first phases the Samsung Digital Academy will be rolled out across the 10 MSME-Samsung Technical Schools which have been set up by Samsung and MSME Ministry following an MoU in August 2014.

Each of these schools will run a four week long course in batches of 30 students.

The programme will eventually be scaled up to include 68 other MSME Technical Centre across the country as well as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs and IIITs) National Institute of Technology (NITs), and other key institutes of technical education and engineering in India.

Tizen is an open and adaptable platform offering multi-application capability across a wide range of devices, including smart phones, tablets and TVs. Samsung's first Tizen based smart phones- the Samsung Z1, was launched in India earlier this year.
