Be found by the people who specify and buy.
Without buying your way to the top.
A profile read from the directory, requests for quotes routed to you, and the engineers and buyers who choose suppliers. Sponsored slots are always labelled and never change the order.

Lifecycles for you
The chip lifecycles that the training plan for Service providers and vendors draws on most. Each one sets out its stages, the gates that check them and the work handed over.
- SoC and full-chip lifecycle →The whole chip, from its specification through IP integration, full-chip design and verification, tape-out, bring-up and qualification to production and end of life.15 stages, 22 gates
- Soft IP lifecycle →One reusable block delivered as synthesisable design code (soft IP), made in-house or taken in from a supplier, from its specification through design, verification, implementation views and quality checks to a versioned release for SoC teams.8 stages, 10 gates
- Test program and ATE development lifecycle →The manufacturing test of a chip, from the test strategy and DFT alignment while the chip is specified, through the test plan, probe cards, load boards and sockets, pattern generation and conversion and a test program built before silicon, to first silicon debug and correlation, characterisation and limit setting, test time reduction and release to production, then yield and test data monitoring, maintenance and end of life.12 stages, 20 gates
- Semiconductor equipment lifecycle →A semiconductor manufacturing tool as a product, such as a deposition, etch, lithography, metrology, test or assembly tool, from customer roadmap alignment and technology requirements through concept and subsystem architecture, module development, control software and factory automation, prototype build, alpha and beta tools at customer sites and process qualification to production release, installation, installed base service and spare parts, upgrades and end of support, with export control compliance throughout.13 stages, 20 gates
- Quality management system lifecycle (ISO 9001 and IATF 16949) →Building, certifying and running a quality management system to ISO 9001, and to IATF 16949 for automotive production, from context, scope and leadership through gap assessment, process design, implementation, internal audits and management review to certification, problem solving, surveillance and recertification.10 stages, 12 gates

What the Hub brings
Buyers and engineers look for suppliers here. This is what you control about how they find you.
A directory profile you can claim
If your company is not listed, submit it and an admin reviews it. If it is, claim it with a code sent to your work email. Claimed profiles show a verified tag.
A supplier listing for the marketplace
A verified representative lists the company with its categories, certifications, served regions and lead-time notes. An admin reviews each listing before it goes live.
Matching requests sent to you
When a buyer posts a public request in your category and region, your representatives get a digest email, once per request. You can turn the emails off from your listing page.
Quote and talk in one place
Quote on a request that matches your listing, then use the message thread attached to it. Where a category is export-sensitive, both sides acknowledge responsibility before messaging opens.
Your own funnel, in plain numbers
Your listing page shows how many requests you saw, how many you quoted and how many you won. Buyers see your quoted and won counts on your supplier entry as well.
Ratings you can answer
After a buyer awards you a request and the completion window passes, they can rate the work. You can post a response, and either side can raise a dispute for review.
Events where specifiers are
Submit your own event for review, or find the ones where engineers and buyers already gather. Every listed event is on the public calendar.
Sponsored profiles, clearly marked
If you pay for a sponsored profile, it appears in a strip labelled Sponsored. It sits apart from the ordinary list, so it does not move anyone else up or down.
What changes for you
Money never buys position
A sponsored profile is always marked as sponsored and shown in its own strip. It never changes how other companies are ordered.
Nothing marks a provider as vetted yet
An admin reviews a supplier listing before it goes live, and the directory tags verified profiles. That is not a quality vetting, and the Hub does not vouch for any provider.
Persona choice changes only your starting point
Choosing this page sets the links you see first. It grants nothing, and nobody is shown who chose it.
