2021 Domestic IP and Custom Chip Ecosystem Conference was successfully held to empower industry chain cooperation

On July 6, the 2021 Domestic IP and Custom Chip Ecosystem Conference was held in Shanghai. Nearly a thousand decision-makers and technical backbones of semiconductor companies, as well as experts from scientific research institutes, investment circles, and media representatives gathered together. The conference site was packed and the guests were in high spirits.

This conference was hosted by Innosilicon, a leading Chinese high-end IP and chip customization company. It is the first industry ecosystem conference in China focusing on IP technology and product cooperation. It meets the expectations of upstream and downstream of the industrial chain for win-win cooperation, effectively promotes the trend of domestic independence, and has received positive responses from many colleagues in the industry.

Li Chong, Vice Mayor of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, delivered a speech

At the meeting, leaders and experts including Li Chong, Deputy Mayor of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, Xu Shujie, Deputy Mayor of Putuo District, Shanghai, Zhou Yumei, member of the Expert Committee of China Semiconductor Industry Association, and Zhang Litian, Deputy Secretary-General of China Integrated Circuit Design Innovation Alliance, delivered speeches, highly affirming the Domestic IP and Customized Chip Ecosystem Conference and its organizers. They believed that this conference closely demonstrated the reliability and wide applicability of domestically produced independent IP cores and customized technologies, as well as R&D capabilities that are not behind the international cutting-edge level, which is of great significance to promoting win-win cooperation in the semiconductor industry chain.

Ms. Zhou Yumei also said that this was the first time she had seen such a large-scale IP theme conference held in the industry. Thousands of colleagues in the industry gathered together spontaneously, which shows that IP, as the most basic and core link in the integrated circuit industry, has extremely strong demand in the entire industrial chain and is increasingly attracting attention from the industry. In the current golden period of development of the domestic integrated circuit industry, domestic IP has embarked on an innovative path, which is inseparable from the long-term accumulation and continuous breakthroughs of domestic IP companies, and also requires the construction and improvement of China's IP ecosystem.

Innosilicon CEO Ao Hai delivered a keynote speech

Subsequently, more than ten leading enterprise representatives and experts, including Ao Hai, CEO of Innosilicon, Tang Dan, senior engineer of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chen Dawei, deputy chief engineer of the China Electronics Standardization Institute, Tang Tianshen, CEO of Yuefang Technology, Zheng Kui, marketing director of Imagination China, YK Lee, director of Samsung Foundry, Li Xiaohui, deputy director of FAE of GlobalFoundries China, Deng Shiyou, director of CTO Office of Unigroup Cloud, Du Jiwei, marketing director of KEYSIGHT Asia Pacific, Zhong Lei, R&D director of Yongsi, Li Hong, CEO of Jiutongfang, Wu Hao, CEO of Tenxin, Gao Zhuan, technical director of Innosilicon, Chen Liankang, He Ying, etc., delivered passionate keynote speeches. They not only analyzed the status, demand and trend of various fields of domestic IP and chip industry, and shared corresponding innovative solutions, but also elaborated and commented on key independent technologies, such as the world's first highest level GDDR6/6X IP technology, the only HBM2e/3 and DDR5/LPDDR5 series technology in China, the first domestic high-performance rendering GPU product, and high-performance customized SRAM IP core.

After hearing such comprehensive sharing of cutting-edge topics, the guests attending the conference gave feedback that they had gained a lot of valuable information. Many customers said, "I didn't expect that there are such excellent IP companies and IP technologies in China. This undoubtedly provides greater guarantees for product safety, reliability and independent control. We are more confident in choosing domestic products. I hope that more such practical conferences can be held in the industry in the future."

Roundtable forum with many experts

In the roundtable forum in the afternoon, Xie Zhifeng, founder of Aixin Technology, Ao Gang, co-founder of Xindong Technology, Feng Jingdao, director of ecological cooperation of Micron China, Li Ying, development director of H3C, Li Hongjun, vice chairman of Lingyange, and Wang Beibei, managing director of Juyuan Capital, had a lively and in-depth exchange and discussion on "How can chip companies cooperate upstream and downstream to jointly expand the ecosystem under the current situation of chip shortage?" They shared the opportunities and challenges faced in their respective fields and the response strategies of enterprises and industrial chains.

In addition, there are more than ten booth negotiation areas on site, involving IP, verification, customization services, design services, wafer foundry and packaging and testing services, all of which are crowded with people. Many guests brought their actual needs to the one-stop docking with the participating companies, which promoted the communication of industrial resources and business cooperation between upstream and downstream. In the highly-watched Innosilicon domestic IP and customized chip booth area, many new and old partners also showed great interest in Innosilicon's high-performance, high-reliability IP and one-stop chip customization services covering 6 major foundries, and offered olive branches for cooperation.

Seeing the hot scene and interactive atmosphere, all the guests said that "the trip was worthwhile". One representative said in an interview, "Compared with international giants, domestic IP companies are not large in scale. If they cannot work together, how can they go long-term? How can they enable domestic autonomy? Therefore, this conference is very pragmatic and timely."

This conference systematically demonstrated the characteristics of high reliability, high security and diversified processes of domestic IP for the first time, making the industry further realize that the quality of excellent domestic technology is not inferior to others, and further played an important role in China's independent industrialization of domestic IP and customized technology, which is conducive to solving the series of difficulties currently faced by chip companies from design to manufacturing, and is of great significance to opening up resource channels upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and strengthening mutual cooperation between supply and demand companies. This is also another great feat of Innosilicon Technology, as the first IP company to win the "China IC Innovation Award", to enable the development of domestic high-end chip business.
