IHP and Chile's AC3E launch a three-year collaboration to expand open-source semiconductor design and manufacturing capabilities, providing access to process design kits, chip fabrication infrastructure and training for Chilean researchers and chip designers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you're building open-source chip designs in Latin America, you now have a direct path to silicon: IHP will fab your designs and train your team without the usual year-long waits and seven-figure NREs. Call AC3E this week.
