MALAYSIA LAUNCHES SEMICONSTART MALAYSIA TO ACCELERATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOMEGROWN SEMICONDUCTOR CHAMPIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 Bernama) -- Malaysian Technology Development Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (MTDC) today officially launched SemiconStart Malaysia, a national semiconductor incubation programme designed to support the growth of high-potential Malaysian and Malaysia-based semiconductor ventures in higher-value segments of the global semiconductor value chain.
SemiconStart Malaysia was identified under Budget 2026 as a strategic initiative to support semiconductor startups through mentorship, access to global funding and investment networks, semiconductor tools, prototyping opportunities and commercialisation support.

The programme was officially launched by YB Senator Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan, Minister of Finance II, in the presence of industry leaders, investors, academia and representatives from the inaugural cohort of participating companies.

Led by MTDC in collaboration with Silicon Catalyst UK, SemiconStart Malaysia is the nation's first dedicated semiconductor venture-building programme focused on helping early-stage semiconductor companies overcome the industry's unique challenges, including high prototyping costs, lengthy development cycles, complex technical validation requirements and barriers to commercialisation. The programme is designed as a “design-to-fab-to-market” bridge, connecting founders with specialist mentors, technical experts, investors, design, test & fabrication partners and commercialisation pathways.

The programme supports companies operating in high-value areas such as integrated circuit (IC) design, advanced materials, photonics and optics, MEMS and sensors, advanced packaging, semiconductor automation and emerging quantum-related technologies.

As the industry moves towards the US$1 trillion milestone, SemiconStart Malaysia aims to position Malaysian companies to capture greater value through innovation, intellectual property creation and technology commercialisation.

MTDC Chairman, Tan Sri Abd. Rahman Mamat, said SemiconStart Malaysia was developed with a clear objective of supporting the growth of Malaysian semiconductor ventures while strengthening the country's pipeline of technology companies capable of competing in one of the world's most demanding industries.

He said semiconductor innovation requires more than funding, as companies also need specialised expertise, technical validation, industry networks and mentors who understand the realities of bringing semiconductor technologies to market.

He added building a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem requires sustained collaboration across government, industry, academia and the investment community, and that SemiconStart Malaysia reflects what can be achieved when these stakeholders align behind a shared ambition. He added that the inaugural cohort reflects Malaysia's growing capability to participate more meaningfully in semiconductor innovation and reinforces MTDC's role as the bridge between talent, technology, industry and capital.

The launch also marked the introduction of the inaugural SemiconStart Malaysia cohort comprising ten (10) Malaysian and Malaysia-based semiconductor ventures, namely SkyeChip Semi Sdn. Bhd., GreatAsic Technology Sdn. Bhd., FusionAP Sdn. Bhd., nanoSkunkWorkX Sdn. Bhd., Silicon X Sdn. Bhd., Aphelia Sdn. Bhd., Channel Microsystems Sdn. Bhd., FirstChip Sdn. Bhd., Kirana Semikonduktor Sdn. Bhd., and SMD Compound Sdn. Bhd.

The inaugural cohort reflects strategic areas identified under Malaysia's semiconductor development agenda, including integrated circuit design, advanced materials, advanced packaging, radio-frequency technologies and photonic systems. Participating companies will also be assessed on their commitment to value creation in Malaysia, including intellectual property development and the cultivation of local technical talent.

As the programme owner and implementing agency, MTDC will oversee programme delivery, ecosystem partnerships and stakeholder engagement, while Silicon Catalyst UK contributes its globally recognised semiconductor incubation framework and international network of advisors, investors and industry partners.

The official launch also featured a sharing session on the selection process, a panel discussion titled "Building Malaysia's Next Semiconductor Champions", and presentations by the inaugural cohort companies.

SemiconStart Malaysia supports the broader objectives of the National Semiconductor Strategy, including strengthening domestic innovation capabilities, increasing the creation of Malaysian-owned intellectual property, developing high-skilled talent and fostering the growth of future semiconductor champions capable of competing on the global stage. It also complements MOSTI’s technology sovereignty agenda by supporting Malaysia’s ability to develop, own and commercialise strategic technologies that are critical to longterm national competitiveness.

The launch marks an important milestone in Malaysia's semiconductor journey, translating the aspirations of the National Semiconductor Strategy into tangible action while strengthening the nation's ability to develop homegrown technologies, generate intellectual property and build globally competitive semiconductor companies. For MTDC, the programme reinforces its catalytic role in connecting technology, capital, industry partners and market opportunities to help Malaysian deep-tech companies scale from innovation to commercial growth.

Strongest Bridge Loses: Smart Engineering Triumphs at Malaysia's Nationwide Bridge Challenge

Overall Winner of the Vital Factor Consulting Cup 2026: MACSian74 Bridge Over Troubled Waters competition:

MELAKA, June 30 (Bernama) -- Bigger was not better. Stronger was not enough.

In a dramatic twist at the Vital Factor Consulting Cup 2026 – MACSian74 Bridge Over Troubled Waters, the bridge that carried the heaviest load of 51 kilograms, roughly the weight of a 12-year-old child, finished only third.

Instead, Monash University Malaysia emerged as the Overall Champion by proving that the smartest engineering solution is not about building the strongest bridge, but the most efficient one.

The nationwide competition challenged participants to build model bridges spanning 0.5 metres using only ice cream sticks, string and glue. Unlike conventional engineering contests, winners were determined not by the maximum load carried alone, but by optimising the ratio between load supported and materials used.

While the returning champions from the Lai family (Ruixia, Ruishan and Mr Lai) achieved the day's highest load of 51,000 grams, they used 340 units of authorised materials, resulting in a score of 150 (51,000/340).

Although Monash University Malaysia's bridge carried a lower load of 39,000 grams, it used only 185 units of materials, achieving the highest score of 211 to secure both the Overall Championship and the Category Championship, with total prize money of RM18,000.

The result reflected one of engineering's most important principles, optimisation. In the real world, engineers are not rewarded simply for making structures stronger, they are challenged to achieve the best performance using the least resources.

A total of 106 teams from Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor participated in the competition, which attracted an estimated 2,000 visitors. The event was officiated by Yang Berusaha Encik Kiew Sieng Eik, Assistant Director of the Student Talent Development Unit, Melaka State Education Department, representing the State Education Director.

The winners of the school categories were equally impressive. SMJK Yok Bin, Melaka won the Secondary School category with a bridge supporting 32 kilograms using 207 material units, while SJKC Pay Hwa, Melaka captured the Primary School title with 17 kilograms using 177 material units.

Ms Soh Lay Hui, Principal of Malacca Anglo-Chinese School (ACS), said the competition was intentionally designed to mirror the realities of engineering and business.

"The real world does not reward those who simply build the strongest solution. It rewards those who deliver the best solution with the resources available. Through competitions like this, ACS prepares our students to think critically, optimise intelligently, collaborate effectively and solve real-world problems."

The competition was jointly organised by Malacca ACS and Methodist Girls' Secondary School.

As this year's results clearly showed, the strongest bridge did not win. The smartest bridge did.

CIRCEUS LAUNCHES WITH EBRD EQUITY INVESTMENT

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) -- Circeus, an artificial intelligence (AI)-native holding company, has launched with an equity investment from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), alongside participation from other investors.

According to a statement, the launch introduces Circeus as the group's holding company brand, reflecting the broader business-to-business (B2B) software portfolio with AI embedded across its operations.

The investment will help expand its central AI engineering capability and support future acquisitions. The group has completed 18 acquisitions over the past four years and serves more than 200,000 businesses worldwide.

“As AI evolves software from passive tools into systems that act and execute, the addressable market for technology is expanding several-fold. We are building the platform to capture this shift.

“We were not running a fundraising process, as we are profitable and well capitalised, but we chose to make space for EBRD given their institutional standing and to lean further into a market that presents several attractive opportunities,” said Circeus Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Luca Cartechini.

Meanwhile, EBRD investor Bruno Lusic said the bank is backing Circeus as it brings AI to mission-critical software, adding that the company's long-term growth model aligns with the EBRD's investment mandate.

Circeus grows through a repeatable acquisition model, acquiring software businesses and integrating them into a central AI capability that embeds AI into products, automates operations, and reuses infrastructure, data, and insights across its portfolio.

The company said founders who sell their businesses to Circeus retain their brands, teams, and customer relationships while gaining access to the group's AI engineering, growth expertise, and centralised back-office support.

Looking ahead, Circeus aims to accelerate AI adoption by embedding advanced AI capabilities into the mission-critical software used by businesses across multiple industries.

HI3D INTRODUCES AI-POWERED END-TO-END 3D PRINTING WORKFLOW

KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 (Bernama) -- Hi3D, an all-in-one artificial intelligence (AI) 3D maker platform, has introduced an end-to-end AI manufacturing workflow for 3D printing that automates tasks previously handled by professional modellers and experienced makers.

Using a Blokees-style mecha as an example, users enter a character concept and visual description, and Hi3D's Nano-Banana 2 image engine generates concept artwork optimised for 3D reconstruction, supporting consistent multi-view generation.

According to Hi3D in a statement, once the artwork is approved, its Sparc3D high-precision generation engine reconstructs a complete 3D model in approximately two minutes.

Hi3D generates watertight meshes optimised for physical manufacturing, unlike AI 3D tools that focus mainly on visualisation. Structural integrity, topology continuity, and printability are handled automatically, reducing cleanup work that previously took hours to minutes.

For large mecha models, print preparation is often more complex than creation, as models must typically be split into components to fit desktop printer build volumes, a process that traditionally requires manual work in software such as Blender or CAD.

However, Hi3D’s intelligent segmentation system automatically analyses models, separates them into printable components, and generates matching connector structures, including mortise-and-tenon joints and ball-joint assemblies.

Combined with Hi3D’s Press-Fit Tolerance system, which calculates assembly clearances based on printer specifications, nozzle size and material characteristics, printed parts can be assembled directly without extensive trial-and-error adjustments.

After model preparation, Hi3D enters the print setup stage. Its smart build plate optimisation system adjusts orientation and support strategies, prioritising surface quality for character figures while reducing support material and print time for mechanical components.

The final output is an enhanced 3MF file compatible with major slicing ecosystems. Using this workflow, the time required to transform an original Blokees-style mecha from a text prompt into a printable file can be reduced to around five minutes.
