Toulouse is now home to a new, AI-powered delivery centre which will serve the region’s aerospace, defence, and manufacturing sectors.
Built by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) it marks the IT services and consulting giant’s fourth delivery centre in France, alongside facilities in Lille, Poitiers, and Paris-Suresnes.
Located in Blagnac near Toulouse Airport, Tata claims that its centre will use AI, generative AI, machine learning, and data analytics to enhance aircraft design, manufacturing processes, and maintenance.
According to the Mumbai-headquartered tech firm, the centre’s strategic position will enable it to collaborate closely with European aerospace clients, delivering innovations aimed at boosting fuel efficiency, developing lighter materials, and implementing predictive maintenance systems to reduce downtime and improve safety.
TCS’s aviation clients include Singapore Airlines, Air France-KLM and United Airlines. The firm was also involved in hydrogen use for sustainably fueled aviation with Rolls Royce last July
“This new centre embodies TCS’ commitment to driving future-ready manufacturing within the aerospace industry,” said Anupam Singhal, president – Manufacturing, TCS.

“By harnessing the power of AI and our deep domain expertise, we aim to achieve new heights of efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. Together, we are shaping the future of aircraft production and enabling future-ready skies.”
TCS, which has been active in France for over three decades, has steadily increased its investments in this territory, recently opening the TCS Pace Port innovation hub in Paris – which serves as a digital solution collaboration space for TCS and its clients. Tata has said that it plans to double its workforce in the region.
“Our ‘glocal’ model—combining local engagement with global expertise—is a real asset,” said Rammohan Gourneni, country head for France, TCS.
“This centre of excellence in Toulouse brings together local talent and TCS’ international know-how, creating opportunities for engineers in the region and driving growth for France’s aerospace industry.
