A First Conversation, Then a Longer Commitment
We have incorporated in Germany, establishing Dresden as our base for supporting customers and partners across Germany and the wider European Union. Announced in June 2026, the milestone followed more than two years of engagement with the region’s semiconductor industry.
The journey began in March 2024, when Head of Solutions Mike Feng arrived in Dresden for our first direct conversation with a major semiconductor manufacturer there. The reception was encouraging and the interest real. Yet the opening meeting did not immediately become the foothold we were looking for. It began a longer period of returning, listening and building relationships.
Subsequent visits took us into conversations with foundries, mask makers, wafer companies, equipment manufacturers and technology partners. Electronica, SEMICON Europa and HANNOVER MESSE were among the occasions that brought us into contact with this wider network. The work of entering the market extended across different parts of the semiconductor ecosystem.
From Visiting a Market to Establishing a Base
Through those discussions, we saw demand for industrial agentic AI and the need to build trust through a local presence. Serving the market required a commitment beyond periodic visits. German incorporation, with Dresden as our base, gave that commitment a concrete form.
By our June 2026 announcement, we were already serving clients in Germany and elsewhere in the EU. The new base followed that customer activity and sustained engagement, providing a local point from which to continue our work with customers and partners.
Our first meeting gave us a reason to keep talking. Repeated visits and discussions helped us understand how we could serve the market and led to our decision to establish a presence in Dresden.
A Milestone Built through Relationships
We marked the milestone at the 20th Silicon Saxony Days in 2026. During the visit, Mike had the honor to meet His Excellency Michael Kretschmer, Minister-President of Saxony, and acknowledged the encouragement received for companies contributing to Saxony’s semiconductor ecosystem. By then, it was Mike’s sixth visit to Dresden and ninth to Germany, reflecting the sustained attention behind the announcement.
We are grateful to Enterprise Singapore, Silicon Saxony, Start2 Group and individual industry partners for helping us reach this stage. Relationships across the ecosystem helped us build our presence in Germany.
Dresden is our base for the next phase of this work. Our June 2026 announcement brought together an established legal presence, active customer relationships and a location from which to continue serving the wider region.
