Brand Story
A uniquely Sarawakian vision
As the world embraces technologies such as 5G, autonomous vehicles, generative AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) there is more and more demand for chips that can power such digital innovations.
Realising this opportunity, Sarawak Microelectronics Design (SMD) Semiconductor was incorporated in 2022 to meet this demand. But that’s not all.
Combined with the potential of our local talent, strategic geographical location and robust infrastructure, SMD’s aim is to cultivate an optimal ecosystem for the semiconductor industry and propel Sarawak to the forefront of being a cutting-edge solutions provider in the region by 2030.
