Semiconductor Ecosystem Architects
From analysis to agreement.
SiRah helps companies across the semiconductor ecosystem choose the right markets, structure the partnerships behind them and turn them into commercial growth across regions. We shape the business model, the commercial terms and the internal alignment that make it happen.
Based in Munich. Working across regions.
Where we work with you
A focused assignment or ongoing support, with an agreed scope, clear outputs and defined responsibilities.
Assess a new region, application or customer segment. We evaluate commercial fit, prioritise customers and partners, and define the entry route.
Structure a collaboration that both organisations can operate. We shape the business model, commercial terms and responsibilities, and support the negotiations.
Position your project for relevant public funding programmes. We assess programme fit, identify suitable partners and shape your role in the consortium.
Develop customer and partner opportunities across regions. We help prioritise the pipeline, advance commercial discussions and coordinate agreed actions.
The semiconductor ecosystem
From chip development to integrated systems, connected through a global ecosystem.

What happens where
Design software and licensed circuit blocks that every chip designer relies on. A small number of suppliers serve the whole industry.
Silicon wafers, chemicals, gases and substrates. Highly specialised, and often sourced from a few suppliers in a few countries.
The tools that build chips, from lithography to deposition, etching and inspection. No fab runs without them.
Universities, research institutes and pilot lines, where new processes and technologies are developed and proven before industry adopts them.
Embedded software, design services and engineering partners that turn a chip into a working solution for the customer.
Distributors, clusters, alliances and application partners that connect technology with customers in each region.
Engineers define the architecture and design the circuits. Many chip companies are fabless: they design, and partners manufacture.
Circuits are built layer by layer on silicon wafers, through hundreds of process steps. The most capital-intensive step in the chain.
Wafers are cut into individual chips, packaged and tested. Advanced packaging now shapes the performance of AI and high-performance chips.
Chips are mounted with other components on boards, often by EMS partners, to form modules for power, sensing, processing and connectivity.
Boards and modules become complete products: a vehicle control unit, a medical scanner, a server. Here the requirements are set that flow back to chip design.
Automotive, industrial, data centres and AI, consumer and mobile, medical and more. Demand here decides what the whole chain builds next.
Printed circuit boards, passive components and connectors that sit alongside the chips on every board.
Venture capital, corporate investment and public funding programmes that finance fabs, startups and research.
Ministries, agencies and alliances that set strategy, incentives, export rules and programmes such as the Chips Acts.
Engineers, technicians and operators at every step. Often the scarcest resource when new sites are built.
Power, water, cleanrooms, transport and secure supply routes that every site depends on.
Standards, certification and customer qualification, especially in automotive and medical, which decide how fast a product reaches the market.
Services
A focused assessment, a market or partnership assignment, or an ongoing commercial mandate. Each engagement is scoped around your priorities, with agreed outputs, responsibilities and timing.
Connect
Which opportunity should we prioritise?
A defined assignment that tells your leadership where to compete first, tested in direct conversations with the customers, partners and public bodies who would make it happen.
