The Selangor Information Technology & Digital Economy Corporation (Sidec) today underscored its commitment to supporting homegrown startups by highlighting the display of Atoz Carbon Cycle’s “Verde series: Green Lung”, part of its Verde Dualair system, at the Selangor State Secretariat Building (SUK).
To complement the placement, Sidec also introduced a Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park showcase booth, featuring new semiconductor, AI and IoT technologies developed by companies operating within the park. The booth aims to increase visibility of Selangor’s design-led semiconductor efforts among government stakeholders, industry partners and visitors.
Sidec is proud to support Atoz, one of the winners of the Selangor Accelerator Programme (SAP), as the company moves from pitching on stage to having its product deployed in a key state government building. Verde Dualair is a nature-based “living microforest” air system that uses microalgae biotechnology to improve indoor air quality while contributing to circular carbon reduction and ESG goals.
YB Ng Sze Han, Selangor State Executive Councillor for Investment, Trade and Mobility, who attended the showcase, said the progress demonstrated by IC Design Park’s industry partners and Sidec’s startup alumni reflects the momentum of Selangor’s technology ambitions.
“We are proud to see how far our ecosystem has come, with Malaysian engineers now developing advanced chips, AI systems, IoT technologies and climate-tech solutions,” he said. “This progress is encouraging, but we are not stopping here. Selangor will continue pushing for stronger design capabilities, deeper industry collaboration and more high-value opportunities for our local talent.”
The Verde Dualair system functions as a compact bio-engineered microforest, absorbing carbon 15–400 times faster than trees while filtering indoor pollutants. Each unit produces nutrient-rich microalgae water monthly and contributes to measurable ESG impact for organisations.
The event, attended by state officials and industry representatives, included demonstrations of new innovations in chip design, AI processing, IoT systems and advanced memory technology as Selangor continues shifting towards design-led semiconductor development.
Among the technologies displayed were:
Wysetime AI Vision (AI ISP Chip)
An edge video-processing chip that enhances image quality in real time and performs local AI detection for surveillance applications.
FPV Drone (10-inch, 2.5kg Payload)
A locally built, high-performance FPV drone designed for monitoring, photography, emergency response, and industrial use.
LIROC Photonic Detection Chip
A 64-channel chip capable of detecting ultra-faint light signals and processing high-speed photon events, suitable for LIDAR and precision sensing.
CL1 Biological Computing Platform (Cortical Labs)
A biological computer powered by living neurons, offering researchers an alternative to traditional models in medical and neurological studies.
MaiStorage Enterprise SSDs
Enterprise-grade solid-state drives designed for AI workloads, cloud computing, and mission-critical servers.
Embedded IoT Systems
Solutions showcased included ORVA (wearable health analytics), AquaMon (water quality monitoring), and iDASH (rugged industrial sensors for Oil & Gas environments).
SkyeChip HBM3 Test Chip “Spindle”
A fully Malaysian-designed HBM3 test chip featuring 2.5D/3D packaging and integrated memory controller and PHY.
Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park
The Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park is an initiative focused on building a design-led semiconductor ecosystem. Located in Puchong, the park brings together industry partners such as MaiStorage, Infinecs, Skyechip, Weeroc and Synopsys, supported by ecosystem partners including leading EDA, IP and test solution providers. The park is expected to house hundreds of engineers working on integrated circuit design and related technologies for global and local clients.
Building on this foundation, Selangor has recently expanded the initiative with the launch of Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park 2 in Cyberjaya, providing additional space and facilities for chip design companies, talent development programmes and collaboration with international partners.
