MOSAIQUE Pvt Ltd (CEO: Hiroyuki Ishida, hereafter "MOSAIQUE"), a company based in Bangalore, India, that provides Japanese language education and talent development for Japanese companies, announced on April 3, 2026, that it has signed a business alliance agreement with Elevium, an Indian semiconductor engineer training company (Headquarters: Bangalore, India). Through this alliance, MOSAIQUE will provide Japanese language training (up to JLPT N2 level) to semiconductor engineers trained by Elevium, thereby supporting talent acquisition in Japan's semiconductor industry.

Background and Challenges Japan's semiconductor industry is facing a severe shortage of engineers amidst a series of large-scale domestic and international investments, such as TSMC's entry into Kumamoto and Rapidus's base establishment in Hokkaido. According to estimates by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan will face a shortage of tens of thousands of personnel in the semiconductor field by 2030, making the securing of highly skilled, work-ready engineers a national challenge. Meanwhile, India is one of the world's leading producers of engineers, and many talented individuals are being trained in the semiconductor design field, particularly in Bangalore. However, their opportunities for employment in Japanese companies have been limited due to barriers such as Japanese language proficiency and understanding of Japanese business culture.

Overview of the Business Alliance This business alliance combines Elevium's semiconductor engineer training program with MOSAIQUE's expertise in Japanese language education and talent placement for Japanese companies. This will establish a system for cultivating and supplying talent that possesses both the "technical skills" and "Japanese language proficiency" required by Japan's semiconductor industry.

【About Elevium】 Elevium is a technology education platform run by the Nanochip group, a pioneer in VLSI and embedded technology education in India with over 17 years of experience. It provides practical semiconductor engineer training through its proprietary LMS (Learning Management System) and cloud-connected lab environment. As an ARM Global Academic Partner (the first in South India) and a Synopsys EDA tool distributor, Elevium offers industry-standard technology education.

【MOSAIQUE's Role】 MOSAIQUE will provide Japanese language education up to the JLPT N2 level and Japanese business etiquette training to the semiconductor engineers trained by Elevium. MOSAIQUE has a proven track record of placing approximately 60 Indian engineers in Japanese companies, maintaining a high retention rate.

【Key Points of This Alliance】 1. Establishment of an integrated training program combining semiconductor technology education (Elevium) and Japanese language education (MOSAIQUE). 2. Introduction of semiconductor engineers with JLPT N2 level Japanese proficiency to Japanese companies. 3. Contribution to promoting the acceptance of highly skilled foreign engineers in Japan's semiconductor industry.

Future Outlook MOSAIQUE and Elevium aim to provide a Japanese language education program to 100 engineers during the 2026 fiscal year, not limited to just semiconductor engineers. The target areas will be expanded to all semiconductor-related technologies, including VLSI design, embedded systems, and IoT. Furthermore, the two companies plan to jointly establish a subsidiary in Japan to strengthen the support system within Japan and deepen direct collaboration with Japanese companies.
