Strategic Partnership to Boost India’s Tech Sector
Himax Technologies, Tata Electronics, and Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) have formed a strategic alliance. The partnership seeks to revolutionize India’s display and ultralow power AI sensing product and technology ecosystem. This collaboration will deliver end-to-end display semiconductor solutions, from chip design through manufacturing and packaging, for both the Indian and global markets.
This partnership builds on a prior 2024 agreement between Tata Electronics and PSMC. That agreement focused on establishing advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in India. The alliance will focus on “Made in India” solutions.
Core Strengths and Focus
The partnership combines the strengths of each company:
- Himax: Expertise in display semiconductors and WiseEye™ ultralow power AI sensing.
- PSMC: Manufacturing capabilities.
- Tata Electronics: Local presence in India.
This strategic alignment aims to enhance supply chain resilience and drive innovation in display technologies across key industries.
