3. Singapore Semiconductor Growth
Unrealized Opportunity
Singapore is Unique. Opportunity in this Uniqueness
Fabless SME growth enables overall SME growth
New company growth enables industry sustainability
Significant opportunity via Singapore semiconductor SME growth
Singapore uniquely positioned as a semiconductor growth center
Singapore is Unique: Almost No Semi Companies Created
Singapore is no longer a competitive place for fabless SME’s
This can be changed: All the pieces are here.
7. What is Different About Singapore?
Singapore Unique Advantages … Unleveraged for Semiconductor SME’s
Broadbased Local Ecosystem Ecosystem Not Tapped
Foundry, Test/Assembly Local foundry, test/assembly focus only on
established volume customers
VC (some semiconductor experienced)
Very limited investment appetite and
Established MNC’s
environment
Semiconductor talent base
Few MNC spin offs
Good for New Companies to Locate Local talent typically in operations
Government programs execution roles rather than new business
creation
MNC Focused Location Advantages
Good Spin off Opportunities
Government programs and KPI’s designed
Universities, RI’s
for MNC’s

Big company advantages like IP protection,
focus to create leverage and synergies
taxation, … do not benefit SME’s
No cohesive semiconductor community
Advantages are Perceived, Not Real, SME Advantages
8. Opportunities for Unfair Advantage
