MICROIP introduced its “Software-Driven Hardware” strategy during the 2026 European Economic Congress 2026, outlining plans to strengthen edge AI and ASIC supply chain resilience through collaboration with Poland.
During the Poland-Taiwan Economic Cooperation Forum, MICROIP Chairman Dr. James Yang joined Ambassador Liu Yong-jian and HCG Vice Chairman Michael Chiu in discussing opportunities to expand economic cooperation between Taiwan and Poland. Yang said Taiwan’s semiconductor expertise could help position Poland as a strategic hub for edge AI development in Europe.
Yang said broader adoption of artificial intelligence continues to face challenges due to fragmented user demand and the high cost of general-purpose chips. He explained that MICROIP’s “Software-Driven Hardware” model focuses on converting industry-specific expertise into customized semiconductor solutions designed for specialized applications.
The company said it combines mainstream chip platforms with its low-power Customized ASIC Design Services (CATS) and the AIVO no-code platform to help engineers develop industry-focused applications with fewer technical barriers. According to MICROIP, the model has already been applied in autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle navigation systems that can track objects without internet connectivity, as well as smart city solutions that use on-device processing to improve privacy protection and reduce bandwidth usage.
Forum discussions also focused on the potential partnership between Poland’s software capabilities and Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing strengths. Chiu described Poland as an important innovation partner for Taiwan’s security technology sector.
Yang said combining European software expertise with Taiwan’s hardware manufacturing capabilities could help create a more resilient supply chain while positioning Poland as an emerging hub for AI hardware and software innovation.
MICROIP also said it is working with sister company Arculus System to provide electronic design automation services aimed at shortening the ASIC research, development, and production cycle. The company said the partnership could help support broader AIoT development while offering cost-efficient solutions tailored to regional market demand.
