(Central News Agency reporter Liu Yu-Ting in Brno on the 17th) Jmem Technology s.r.o., a Taiwanese semiconductor cybersecurity solutions company, today announced the unveiling of its Czech office and signed a strategic cooperation memorandum with the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster (CNSC), laying the foundation for cooperation between the two parties in semiconductor cybersecurity testing and international security standardization.
The opening ceremony was held at Brno University of Technology, the second largest city in the Czech Republic, bringing together government officials, academic leaders, and industry experts from both Taiwan and the Czech Republic. Jmem Technology focuses on cybersecurity chip protection and resilient supply chain solutions, hoping that Brno, Czech Republic, will become its European R&D hub.
Jan Zámečník, Deputy Governor of the South Moravian Region, stated in his speech that "the South Moravian Region has long been committed to the development of high-tech industries, and Brno has become an important engineering and innovation center in Central Europe. We welcome Jmem Technology's entry and look forward to this investment driving more semiconductor R&D cooperation, talent opportunities, and international connections."
Filip Chvátal, Deputy Mayor of Brno, pointed out that Brno possesses excellent universities, scientific research capabilities, and international talent, making it an important city for technological development in Europe. "We are pleased to see forward-looking enterprises like Jmem Technology choose Brno as their European base, which will further enhance the city's position in the global innovation landscape."
Chen Li-Kuo, Representative to the Czech Republic, stated in his speech that Taiwan and the Czech Republic share common values of democracy, innovation, and industrial cooperation. In today's globally uncertain environment, semiconductor security is no longer just a technical issue, but an issue concerning economic security and national resilience. Jmem Technology's establishment in the Czech Republic not only deepens bilateral economic and trade cooperation but also demonstrates Taiwan and the Czech Republic's determination to build a trustworthy supply chain partnership.
Jmem Technology's entry into the Czech Republic is based on years of continuous investment in the "Advanced Chip Design Research Center" (ACDRC), established through Taiwan-Czech cooperation.
Tsai Hung-Ying, President of the National Applied Research Laboratories, told Central News Agency that the ACDRC project is a new international cooperation model, ranging from research and development, talent cultivation to industrial implementation. Excellent Czech talents go to Taiwan to receive IC design related training, and after completing their studies, they return to the Czech Republic to develop, thereby promoting local industrial growth.
Tsai Hung-Ying stated that Taiwan has solid IC design capabilities. Through this cooperation, it can not only cultivate international talents but also extend Taiwan's industrial energy to the European market, making good use of local talents, and realizing the global spread of technology and industry.
Tsai Hung-Ying pointed out that Jmem Technology's establishment of its European R&D headquarters in the Czech Republic symbolizes the formal settlement of cooperation. He expects Jmem to take the Czech Republic as a starting point to expand its European market, allowing Taiwan's semiconductor strength to shine on the international stage.
Zhang Zhen-Feng, CEO of Jmem Technology, told Central News Agency reporters that the Czech Republic holds a key strategic position in Jmem's European layout and will become an important base for future R&D and design.
Zhang Zhen-Feng pointed out that since last year, through the ACDRC project, cooperation has been initiated, and a year-long R&D cooperation relationship has been established with local doctoral students. After these talents are trained in Taiwan, they return to the Czech Republic one after another, transforming into important members of the local R&D team, building localized capabilities for the enterprise in Europe.
He stated that Jmem is gradually expanding one of its R&D focuses to the Czech Republic, especially for the needs of the European market, developing a "Czech Design, Taiwan Manufacturing" operating model. In the future, chip design will be carried out in the Czech Republic, and the design results will then be sent back to Taiwan for manufacturing, leveraging Taiwan's advantages in semiconductor manufacturing.
Zhang Zhen-Feng stated that Jmem currently focuses on cybersecurity-related chip design, with applications covering national defense units, data centers, and artificial intelligence, all of which are critical infrastructures that are highly valued globally. Supply chain management is very important; through Czech design and Taiwan manufacturing, a "non-red supply chain" can be built to make industries and governments safer.
