On January 19, 2026, the College of Engineering at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) held a collaboration ceremony with Siemens EDA and Enlitech to launch the "Micro/Nano IC Design EDA Software Platform." The partnership introduces industry-standard design tools for analog, digital, and mixed-signal chips, establishing a platform synchronized with the global semiconductor ecosystem to enhance practical skills and talent cultivation in IC design and optoelectronic technology.

"We highly value the development of students' practical experience and industrial readiness," stated Dr. Shiao-Wei Kuo, Dean of the College of Engineering. He noted that this collaboration with Siemens EDA and Enlitech builds a design and verification environment aligned with international standards. This allows students to operate industry-grade tools based on a solid theoretical foundation, fulfilling the "learning by doing" philosophy and strengthening the talent pipeline for the Southern Taiwan Semiconductor S-Corridor.

Lin Chi-Hsuan, Vice President and General Manager of Taiwan and Southeast Asia at Siemens EDA, pointed out that as a global semiconductor hub, Taiwan must adopt an ecosystem-driven mindset for talent cultivation. By partnering with Enlitech to bring international standards to NSYSU, Siemens EDA aims to help faculty and students align with global specifications and develop top-tier talent with immediate workplace readiness.

Su Cheng-Yu, General Manager of Enlitech, expressed honor in serving as a bridge between academia and industry. He highlighted that by introducing mainstream design platforms to NSYSU, the partnership creates a practical environment synchronized with the industry, helping students familiarize themselves with standard tools and closing the gap between academia and the industrial sector.

The platform integrates Siemens EDA’s core technology with Enlitech’s technical services to create a professional design and verification environment. This synergy solidifies the university’s foundation for R&D and talent cultivation while injecting strong innovative momentum into the tech clusters of the Southern Taiwan S-Corridor.
