Collaboration — Corporate Partners

Industry partnerships
built on outcomes,
not paper.

Strategic partnerships with Synopsys and Innatera at the ecosystem level. Active training and talent relationships with 20+ semiconductor companies across India. Built over 17 years of being inside the industry — not on the outside looking in.

// chip analogy — verified IP integration
"When you integrate a third-party IP block into your SoC, you are not just buying a file — you are buying the vendor's characterization data, their support team, their track record of silicon success, and their understanding of your design environment. The partnership is the value, not just the deliverable. VLSI EXPERT operates on the same principle. Our corporate relationships are built on deep technical trust, shared outcomes, and a track record of engineers placed and designs delivered."

Strategic Ecosystem Partners

The foundational relationships.

EDA & TRAINING ECOSYSTEM — 4+ YEARS
⬡
Synopsys
VLSI EXPERT has been a Synopsys Workforce Development Partner for over four years — one of a select group of training organizations globally that holds this designation. What this means in practice: every VLSI EXPERT student gets individual, 24/7 access to the full Synopsys EDA suite throughout their program. Not lab access. Not shared terminal time. Individual access. The same tools used at Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, and every major semiconductor company in the world.

The relationship goes beyond tool access. VLSI EXPERT delivers Synopsys-branded joint certification programs, participates in SNUG (Synopsys Users Group), has conducted Synopsys-joint workshops at IITs and NITs across India, and runs a Chip Tapeout Program under this partnership. This is a moat that takes years to build and is one of VLSI EXPERT's most significant competitive advantages.

NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING PARTNER — SINCE 2025
◈
Innatera
Innatera is a Netherlands-based semiconductor company that has built the world's first commercial neuromorphic microcontroller — the Pulsar chip. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) processed at 100× lower latency and 500× lower energy than conventional processors. The technology is real, the chip is in production, and the applications are significant: always-on AI inference for wearables, industrial sensors, medical devices, and autonomous systems.

VLSI EXPERT became an official Innatera partner in 2025. The partnership covers distribution of Pulsar EVK and IC across India and South Asia, joint training programs on neuromorphic AI for students and institutions, faculty development on SNN concepts, and IIT Bombay collaboration. This positions VLSI EXPERT at the frontier of the next wave of semiconductor computing — neuromorphic and edge AI — while the market is still early.
