Penang, 8 May 2025 \u2013 InvestPenang under the Penang Silicon Design @5km+ initiative, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), and Arm Limited (Arm), today hosted an Industry Briefing and Engagement Session on the Government of Malaysia and Arm strategic partnership \u2014 a strategic effort to position Malaysia, and Penang in particular, as a global hub for semiconductor innovation.<\/p>\n

This session offered first-hand insight into the strategic framework between the Government of Malaysia and Arm. This partnership represents a significant leap toward establishing Malaysia as an IP-driven innovation economy, advancing beyond traditional manufacturing to focus on high-value design and intellectual property ownership, aligning with the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and National Semiconductor Strategy.<\/p>\n

The session provided a detailed overview of the key components of the Government of Malaysia and Arm\u2019s partnership, outlining its expected industry impact, highlighting the tangible benefits it offers to businesses and the strategic contributions local players can make, and the application process for participating in the programme.<\/p>\n

In addition, the event also served as a platform for technical knowledge-sharing and capacity building. Attendees received a comprehensive overview of Arm\u2019s Flexible Access (AFA) programme and Compute Subsystem (CSS) solutions\u2014 both designed to help IC design companies accelerate product development and reduce time-to-market.<\/p>\n

Separate closed-door technical sessions were held for selected participants, offering an in-depth exploration of Arm\u2019s CSS architecture and structural framework.<\/p>\n

This milestone session builds on the momentum following the official launch of the Penang Silicon Design @5km+ initiative on 7th<\/sup> December 2024. The Penang Silicon Design @5km+\u2019s long-term vision is to enable the development of \u2018Made by Malaysia\u2019 AI chips \u2014 fully designed, built, and tested locally. By leveraging Arm\u2019s advanced technology, Malaysian companies are now better positioned to produce high-value chips for AI, IoT, automotive, graphics, and other applications \u2014 strengthening the nation\u2019s role in global supply chains.<\/p>\n

The event gathered over 70 key stakeholders from IC design companies, federal and state agencies, multinational corporations, and local firms, all committed to advancing Malaysia\u2019s role in the global semiconductor value chain.<\/p>\n
