New semiconductor factory in Singapore to generate over 1,000 jobs

The US$2b factory is owned by Startup Silicon Box.

Singapore-based startup, Silicon Box, plans to upskill and employ up to 1,200 individuals for its newly-launched semiconductor manufacturing foundry through the support of the Economic Development Board (EDB),

The startup is particularly looking for individuals with computer science, engineering, and design backgrounds.

"Singapore is home to a vibrant and sophisticated semiconductor industry, with a strong ecosystem of solution providers and partners. Silicon Box's decision to set up its first manufacturing and R&D facility in Singapore is a testament to our competitiveness as a critical global node for semiconductors and a vote of confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the sector in Singapore," EDB Chairman Png Cheong Boon said.

We will continue strengthening our industry's competitiveness by developing a stronger talent pipeline, reducing the sector's carbon footprint, and deepening our semiconductor R&D capabilities," the chairman added.

The factory worth US$2b is located in Tampines, spanning 73,000 sqm.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
