- Collaboration shows M’sia’s push to result in transistor innovation &, talent
- Advanced Semiconductor Academy of Malaysia associates with ChipInventor on expertise programs
Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park marked a key milestone in global semiconductor collaboration with new strategic partnerships involving Brazil, Chip Inventor, and Amazon Web Services ( AWS). Supported by the Embassy of Brazil in Malaysia, Brazil’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and the Innovation Diplomacy Programme, the announcement was made during the” Delivering Next Gen of Chip Builders” function, focused on business coaching, personal conversations, and cross-border assistance.
This partnership underscores Malaysia’s motivation to result in semiconductor development and talent development. The Malaysia-Brazil collaboration aims to strengthen ties in IC design and manufacturing, combining Malaysia’s strong ecosystem with Brazil’s design expertise to help joint investments, technology transfer, and local leadership.
Highlighting local innovation, Alphaswift Industries—a top winner of the 7th Selangor Accelerator Programme ( SAP ) by Sidec—successfully designed and prototyped a silicon chip using Chip Inventor’s cloud-based EDA platform. The device is now available for processing at Silterra, showcasing Malaysian startups ‘ growing function in the global device business. The progress was demonstrated lived by Alphaswift CEO Dr Shian Lee and ChipInventor development boss Dr Rafael Vidal Aroca.
To further create native talent, the Advanced Semiconductor Academy of Malaysia is partnering with ChipInventor on programs like the National Semiconductor Excellence Programme and Global Semiconductor Exchange Programme. These aim to provide students and professionals with important skills in microprocessor style, testing, and confirmation.
Chip Inventor’s system, hosted on AWS’s high-performance facilities in Malaysia, enables safe and flexible chip design processes. This not only strengthens Malaysia’s online ecosystem but also supports international implementation of cloud-based semiconductor devices. The AWS Asia Pacific ( Malaysia ) Region plays a key role in accelerating local digital transformation.
Together with Brazil, Chip Inventor, AWS, and ASEM, Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park continues to position itself as a catalyst for global semiconductor growth—driven by innovation, skilled talent, and international collaboration.
