SCVCS: SSbD Chips Value Chain Services
EU-ASEAN Research Initiative for Sustainable Semiconductor Manufacturing
Once a voluntary approach to guide the innovation process for chemicals and materials, the December 2025 revised framework features a “systemic approach to integrate safety, sustainability and functionality of products and processes throughout their life cycle, from design to end-of-life, with a view to reuse and recycling (circularity).”
Aiming to support researarch and innovation (R&I) and product development, SSbD brings economic, environmental and social value, including zero pollution for a toxic-free environment.

🧱 The SCVCS Pillars (System of Systems): RealSoS, GuardSoS, and AuditSoS
📢 Open Call for Research & Industrial Collaboration
The SCVCS initiative is establishing a pioneering Atoms-to-Law framework to operationalize a Regenerative Socio-Technical (RST) roadmap for the global semiconductor industry. We are actively seeking to expand our international consortium for upcoming funding tracks.
🤝 Consortium Expansion Targets:
- 2–3 EU/UK Partners: Specializing in advanced physical metrology, confidential computing (TEEs), or ecological economics.
- 1–2 ASEAN Partners: Semiconductor manufacturing facilities, packaging/testing hubs, or regional Global Business Services (GBS 5.0) networks.
We bridge the gap between advanced manufacturing processing and sustainability metrics by turning compliance into an automated, data-sovereign and trustworthy manufacturing service.
Instead of static paper disclosures and retrospective annual audits, the SCVCS infrastructure delivers an integrated Atoms-to-Law pipeline:
- Automated, inline compliance integrated directly at advanced production stages.
- Hardware-secured autonomous governance running validation without exposing trade secrets or factory yield telemetry.
- Cross-border data sovereignty mapping smoothly across GDPR, CSDDD, REACH, and CBAM frameworks.
- Fundable asset tokenization matching real-time metrology straight to green finance options.
🌟 How to Participate
We are co-designing pilot deployments across the critical EU-Hsinchu-Penang manufacturing axis. If your organization fits one of our target pillars, let’s connect:
- Pilot Line Operators: Validate compliance automation tools in live or simulated fabrication environments.
- RegTech & Cryptography Labs: Co-develop Policy-as-Code compilers and secure data-space connectors.
- GBS & Supply Chain Network Leads: Map transnational logistics and lead regional talent upskilling initiatives.
