ACL Digital has been recognised by TSMC with the 2026 Open Innovation Platform (OIP) Partner of the Year Award for Design Service Excellence at San Jose, California, reflecting the company's work in advanced semiconductor design services for mutual customers across AI, data center, and IoT markets.

A Recognition from TSMC's Partner Ecosystem

ACL Digital, part of the ALTEN Group, announced on September 25, 2026 that it received the 2026 TSMC OIP Partner of the Year Award for Design Service Excellence.

The award was announced during the TSMC 2026 North America OIP Ecosystem Forum, which brings together TSMC customers and design ecosystem partners. The recognition highlights ACL Digital's contributions in providing advanced design services to customers working across TSMC's technology ecosystem.

Supporting AI, Data Center and IoT Markets

ACL Digital said its collaboration with TSMC supports enterprises tackling complex engineering requirements across several high-growth technology markets.

For data center and AI systems, the company focuses on optimized silicon design and system architecture intended to support demanding AI workloads and enterprise computing requirements.

In IoT and edge computing, ACL Digital develops low-power and high-efficiency semiconductor solutions designed for edge-intelligence applications.

The company said its ongoing alignment with TSMC's technology roadmap has helped mutual customers develop next-generation chips for data center, AI, and IoT applications.

Expanding Advanced Semiconductor Design Capabilities

ACL Digital CEO Ramandeep Singh said the award reflects the long-term collaboration between the two companies and their efforts to help customers address complex technology challenges.

Prasanna Shroff, Head of Semiconductor at ACL Digital, said the partnership has supported the development of next-generation chips for data center, AI, and IoT markets.

ACL Digital also highlighted recent advanced-node design training provided through the OIP ecosystem, which the company said has helped strengthen its semiconductor design capabilities and improve support for customers working on advanced technologies.

Context: ACL Digital and the OIP Programme

ACL Digital operates as an AI-led digital and systems engineering company spanning technologies from chip design through cloud-based systems.

TSMC's Open Innovation Platform brings together ecosystem partners across areas such as semiconductor design services, intellectual property, electronic design automation, and related technologies to support customers developing products on TSMC manufacturing processes.

The Partner of the Year recognition places ACL Digital among the ecosystem partners highlighted by TSMC for contributions made during the 2026 cycle.

Industry Significance of Foundry Partner Awards

Recognition within a major foundry ecosystem can be important for semiconductor engineering companies because chip development increasingly depends on close coordination among foundries, design-service providers, IP suppliers, software vendors, and system developers.

For ACL Digital, the Design Service Excellence award highlights its role in helping customers transform complex silicon designs into products that can progress toward manufacturing.

The recognition is particularly relevant as demand for advanced semiconductor design continues to grow alongside AI infrastructure, data center expansion, and edge-computing applications.

Future Collaboration with TSMC

ACL Digital said it plans to further expand its presence within the TSMC OIP ecosystem and strengthen its semiconductor design-services capabilities.

The company intends to continue working with TSMC to help global customers move complex silicon concepts toward production-ready solutions, while expanding its capabilities across AI, data center, IoT, and other advanced technology markets.
