Penang ATE Campus

A trusted platform for ATE collaboration

The Penang Automation, Test and Equipment (ATE) Initiative, spearheaded by InvestPenang, is designed to accelerate innovation and strengthen Penang’s ATE ecosystem, with a particular focus on advanced packaging, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), electronics manufacturing services (EMS), MedTech and semiconductor equipment manufacturing.

Aligned with the National Semiconductor Strategy, this initiative represents a transformative collaboration between government, academia and industry to drive technological advancement, deepen local capabilities and enhance supply chain resilience.
