Malaysian semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) design firm SkyeChip has received a significant investment from Gobi Partners.<\/p>\n

The undisclosed funding, channelled through the Khazanah Nasional-backed Gobi Dana Impak Fund and Gobi\u2019s regional funds with support from prominent domestic and international institutions, aims to bolster SkyeChip\u2019s talent acquisition, business expansion initiatives, and working capital.<\/p>\n

Established and led by Fong Swee Kiang and Teh Chee Hak, SkyeChip specialises in silicon IP and custom ASICs. The company designs and develops semiconductors for cutting-edge applications in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).<\/p>\n

Its proprietary intellectual property (IP), dedication to research and development (R&D), and its move into custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design are expected to strengthen its market position and elevate Malaysia\u2019s status within the global chip ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Gobi Partners\u2019 decision to invest in SkyeChip is attributed to the company\u2019s rapid establishment of a strong presence in the chip design market since its inception. The increasing global demand for designers based in Southeast Asia, substantial growth in key end-markets like AI and HPC, and SkyeChip\u2019s continuous innovation in its product offerings are expected to drive the company\u2019s long-term growth.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Malaysia\u2019s strategic geographical position and expanding ecosystem make it an ideal hub for semiconductor innovation in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Thomas G. Tsao, co-founder and Chairperson of Gobi Partners, stated: \u201cWe believe SkyeChip is well-positioned to capitalise on the rising demand for advanced semiconductor solutions, particularly in AI and HPC applications. SK and Chee Hak have built a formidable business at the cutting edge of IP and IC design, and we look forward to working with them through their next stage of growth.”<\/p>\n

Recently, the United States government decided to levy a 25 per cent tariff<\/a> on semiconductors, presenting a significant challenge for Malaysia. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan highlighted that 60 per cent of the country’s trade with the US comprises electrical and electronics (E&E) exports, making this a critical issue. The ASEAN countries are planning an immediate special ASEAN-US summit to present their concerns to the new US administration, aiming to mitigate the tariff\u2019s impact on ASEAN countries.<\/p>\n
