GE said that the Advanced Manufacturing and Software Technology centre will include a GE research and development facility that will be part of GE's Global Research network.
The facility will house scientists and engineers and GE experts in software development, data architecture, networking, business intelligence and program management.
The centre, which is expected to open later this year, is located at the Visteon Village site in Van Buren Township, Wayne county. It is expected to grow to over 1,100 GE employees over the next few years.
The research and development facility will be housed in a new USD100m, 100,000-square-foot building that GE will construct on the site. The software and IT employees will be located in existing office space, GE said.
The state of Michigan is providing over USD60m in incentives over the next 12 years to support the centre.
GE expects to partner with local universities on training programmes for its employees at the centre.
