This collaboration brings trusted and comprehensive chip design software and solutions directly to the startups we support to accelerate chip design innovation.
Plug and Play has announced a new collaboration with Synopsys, a global silicon-to-systems design solutions company. By collaborating with Plug and Play Semiconductors, Synopsys will provide selected startups with access to its design tools and software licenses.
By providing startups with access to professional-grade EDA tools, which often represent a significant investment at the early stage, Plug and Play and Synopsys aim to help lower the barrier to chip innovation, accelerate time to market, and reduce development costs across the chip design space.
The collaboration is expected to draw more entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate partners into the semiconductor program. Together, the two organizations are enabling emerging founders to compete on a global stage.
This collaboration strengthens Plug and Play’s ability to support the most promising semiconductor startups while reinforcing Synopsys’ role in enabling innovation at the earliest stages of chip development. It also lays the foundation for continued collaboration between the two organizations.
Plug and Play launched its semiconductors program in 2023 to help accelerate breakthrough hardware and chip innovation by connecting startups with corporations, government agencies, universities, and investors. The collaboration between Plug and Play and Synopsys will bring the platform even greater technical depth and opportunity.
