Russia plans to launch local integrated circuit IP trading platform

According to the latest report, due to the difficulties encountered by Russian chip design companies in purchasing overseas IP, the country’s enterprise NPP Digital Solutions is planning to launch an open platform to aggregate the resources of IP manufacturers in Russia and support fully independent chip design.

Moreover, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade told the newspaper that the government supports the initiative, and the ministry is currently planning to create an industrial software platform that will allow Russian companies to purchase autonomous and controllable CAD software on the platform.

Baikal Electronics, a major Russian chip design company, also holds a positive attitude towards this initiative, which will help save project development time and resources. However, some industry experts have pointed out that the number of manufacturers engaged in IP design in Russia is limited, and there are inherent differences between enterprises.

Moreover, there is a  close relationship and no new platform connection is required. In addition, Russian manufacturers often repeat the practice of developing the same functional IP for different government projects, resulting in insufficient resources for trading.
