Connecting Ideas, Data, and People Across the Microelectronics Supply Chain

The MMEC Digital Ecosystem is a secure, collaborative environment that accelerates innovation from concept to production. By integrating powerful digital tools like DESIGN, CONNECT, IP, and MOSIS 2.0, MMEC empowers members to design, collaborate, and deliver technologies that advance U.S. microelectronics leadership and national security.

This ecosystem unites designers, fabricators, suppliers, and innovators in one connected platform that reduces barriers, shortens timelines, and ensures every idea has a clear path from lab-to-fab-to-mission and market.

DESIGN is MMEC’s integrated microelectronics solution — uniting a tapeout-proven design platform, expert enablement services, and a CUI-approved IP repository into a single, cohesive offering that accelerates innovation from concept to fabrication.

The DESIGN Platform delivers a unified multi-vendor workspace with foundry-validated design flows on a flexible cloud or on-premise deployment with IaaS licensing.

Design Enablement Services provide expert-led EDA flow assessment, IP reuse strategy, reference designs, and hands-on design training — extending your team’s bandwidth from project kickoff through tapeout.

The IP Repo, powered by MeTRA®, is a CUI-approved secure repository for storing, sharing, and managing design IP with full audit traceability, encryption at rest and in transit, and hierarchical access control.

Together, these capabilities lower the barriers to participation, reduce iteration time, and enable cross-organization collaboration — fostering reusable IP, standardized workflows, and interoperability across the MMEC ecosystem.
