India's centre for trusted semiconductor systems, advanced materials & space electronics.
Semicon Keralam is the implementation agency for Semiconductor Mission Kerala — a materials-to-systems mission connecting chip design, trusted electronics, advanced packaging, strategic materials, talent and startups into one design-led ecosystem by 2030.
From materials to systems.
Kerala will not chase high-capital fabs. We connect what already exists — IIITM-K, KSUM, ISRO, KMML, IREL, FACT, C-DAC, BEL and a mature deep-tech ecosystem — into one pipeline.
