SHANGHAI, 13 August 2026 - SMD Semiconductor Sdn. Bhd. (SMD) and Jiangsu Linyang Energy Co., Ltd. (Linyang Energy) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to establish a strategic collaboration for the adoption and supply of SMD power semiconductor solutions, including Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, across Linyang Energy’s smart metering and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) product platforms for global markets.

The ceremony took place during the Sarawak Investment Mission to Shanghai, China led by the Deputy Premier of Sarawak and the Minister for International Trade, Industry and Investment (MINTRED), Sarawak, the Honourable Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah bin Ali Hasan.

The collaboration represents an important step in SMD’s strategy to move Sarawak-developed semiconductor technology into high-volume, internationally deployed energy products.

Under the MoA, SMD and Linyang Energy will work together to identify, qualify and integrate SMD Semiconductor technologies into selected Linyang product platforms.

The initial focus will include power semiconductor devices, GaN-based power solutions and related intelligent power technologies for applications in smart meters, power conversion systems, energy storage and other advanced energy infrastructure.

Linyang Energy’s established global footprint in smart metering, renewable energy and energy storage provides a significant pathway for SMD technologies to reach international customers and accelerate their transition from product development to commercial deployment.

Speaking at the ceremony, Datuk Amar Awang Tengah said the collaboration reflects the growing convergence between Sarawak’s semiconductor ambitions and its development as a major clean energy hub in the region.
