Officially Unveiled the Southeast University–Afilm Semiconductor Graduate Practice Base



Talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force. As a key integrated circuit backbone enterprise nurtured by Jiangyin High‑tech Zone, Afilm semiconductor has deepened its core technology expertise and focused on talent cultivation, taking a critical step forward in integrating industry with education and advancing industrial upgrading.


On April 14, at the Southeast University–Jiangyin High‑tech Zone “Double High Collaboration” Promotion Meeting, Afilm semiconductor officially unveiled the “Southeast University–Afilm Graduate Practice Base” partnered with Southeast University, which marks a new stage in the Industry‑University‑Research collaboration between Afilm and a top‑tier university, while demonstrating the company’s firm commitment to tackling core technologies and cultivating high‑end talent. It also lays a solid foundation in both talent and technology for the company’s long‑term sustainable development.

Strong Alliance

As one of the first pilot units of “Double High Collaboration” (collaborative development between high‑tech zones and higher education institutions) in Jiangsu province, Jiangyin High‑tech Zone has been working closely with Southeast University and other universities to carry out “organized research & organized commercialization” deeply. This promotion meeting aims to further deepen the universities and local cooperation, propelling the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and joint talent training.

Afilm semiconductor has been deeply integrated into the “Double High Collaboration” ecosystem previously and has achieved notable results in the multiple technology cooperation projects with Southeast University. Among these, a semiconductor equipment related project undertaken by the two parties has been successfully granted “Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology Major Special Project”, fully demonstrating the technological depth and industrialization potential of their collaborative innovation.


Empower the Industry


The core of industrial competition lies in talent. As a vital force in the regional integrated circuit industry, Afilm has consistently prioritized talent cultivation as its core strategy. The establishment of the practice base will create a stable talent pipeline for Afilm, providing the human resources support to overcome critical “bottleneck” technologies and accelerate product iteration. Meanwhile, the innovative achievements of graduate students will feed back into the corporate’s R&D, achieving a two‑way empowerment "talent development and enterprise revitalization" to drive high-quality regional industrial growth.
