  2. Tech Talk titled- From The Silicon Alps to Silicon East Here Comes AT&S Story (DK3)

A little update about the semiconductor industry in Malaysia:-

1 – The semiconductor industry in Malaysia has seen exponential growth in recent years, especially amidst the ongoing tensions between the US and China. Malaysia plays a vital role in the chip war industry, positioning itself as a key player in the global semiconductor supply chain.

2 – AT&S was the largest recent investor in Malaysia in 2023 with an investment of RM8.5 billion.

3 – Although the semiconductor sector in Malaysia is experiencing rapid growth, we are still facing challenges with talent shortages. Engineers are particularly in demand, constituting 65% of talent shortages. Initiatives like the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030 aim to address this by fostering local talent in areas like IC design and engineering.
