The key to strengthen
the semiconductor ecosystem is
supporting partner companies!

In June 2020, Samsung Electronics announced a plan to “strengthen competitiveness in all areas of domestic semiconductors through win-win activities with partner companies, academia, and the environment”.

We actively support semiconductor partner companies and try to reach the goal of expanding the semiconductor ecosystem, cultivating talent, and achieving eco-friendly management as our support group of experts with more than 20 years of field experience provides tailored consulting, management consulting, manufacturing competitiveness consulting, and dispatched professional manpower to partner companies of domestic materials, components, and equipment.

To strengthen the competitiveness
of the semiconductor ecosystem, customized eye-level consulting is provided to domestic materials, parts, and equipment partner companies.
After reviewing the suitability of the projects of the partner companies that applied for consulting, a dedicated consultant visits the site for the final selected partner companies and provides support focusing on task discovery, issue resolution, and innovation activities.
What’s more, in addition to consulting in the desired areas of development, manufacturing, quality, environmental safety, human resources/training, and sales/marketing,
we also provide training that targets the executives and employees of partner companies.
