Japan's Rapidus to help 17 companies design chips
Original: Japan's Rapidus to help 17 companies design chips for clients
Japanese chip venture Rapidus will support 17 companies in designing semiconductors on behalf of their clients, according to a Nikkei report. The move expands Rapidus beyond its core mission of advanced chip manufacturing, positioning it as a design partner for businesses lacking in-house semiconductor expertise as Japan pushes to rebuild its domestic chip industry.
Why now: Rapidus is a flagship of Japan's push to re-enter advanced chipmaking, so any widening of its role draws attention.
