Sovereign microelectronics program review.
Independent review of program design, capability targets, and partnership architecture against realistic global supply dynamics.

Semiconductors & Microelectronics.
Where industrial policy, advanced manufacturing, and national security converge — and where capital decisions play out over decades.
MRBF engages on semiconductors as a long-cycle industrial and policy challenge. Our focus is on governments designing sovereign capability, downstream users assessing supply exposure, and ventures or programs operating at the specialty and packaging layers where realistic capability can be built.
[01_Context]
Where the work sits.
- 01Governments designing sovereign or allied semiconductor capability programs.
- 02Industrial and defence buyers assessing supply chain exposure and substitution.
- 03Specialty fabs, packaging, and equipment providers planning capability uplift.
- 04Investors evaluating microelectronics ventures and program participation.
[02_Tailored_Services]
S_01
Sovereign capability program design
Architecture of national or allied semiconductor programs — capability targets, funding mix, partnership model, and realistic delivery pathway.
S_02
Supply chain exposure analysis
Structured analysis of microelectronics dependencies in critical sectors — concentration, substitution feasibility, and prioritised resilience actions.
S_03
Specialty & packaging strategy
Where credible capability can be built — specialty processes, advanced packaging, and supporting equipment and materials ecosystems.
S_04
Industrial policy advisory
Support to government on incentives, screening, talent, and procurement settings that determine whether a program actually attracts investment.
S_05
Program & investor diligence
Independent diligence on program participants, ventures, and partnership structures — technical, commercial, and geopolitical exposure.
S_06
Capability & workforce planning
Translation of capability targets into workforce, training, and R&D infrastructure requirements over realistic timeframes.

[04_Questions_We_Engage]
The questions we are built for.
- Q_01Where can sovereign or allied capability realistically be built — and at what scale?
- Q_02What is our true exposure to concentrated microelectronics supply?
- Q_03Is this program's design likely to attract the investment it assumes?
- Q_04Which specialty and packaging niches are genuinely defensible for us?
- Q_05What workforce and infrastructure does this capability target actually require?
[05_Engage]
Bring a semiconductors & microelectronics question into scoping.
Engagements begin with a scoping conversation. We confirm the problem, the senior practitioners or specialists who would deliver, and whether MRBF is the right counterpart before any work starts.
