Malaysia Launches Semiconductor Design Hub to Boost Chip Industry

Malaysia is establishing a semiconductor design center to enhance its chip industry and attract investment. The nation aims to progress beyond chip testing and packaging to higher-value design activities. This initiative, supported by partnerships with companies like Cadence and Arm, seeks to increase domestic chip design for data centers and other applications. Malaysia, already a regional hub with facilities for major chipmakers, aims to double semiconductor exports by 2030, solidifying its position in the global market amidst US-China tensions.
