Syenta is thrilled to be selected as one of six cutting-edge startups in the fifth cohort of the Applied Startup Technology & Research Accelerator (ASTRA), hosted by Applied Ventures in collaboration with Applied Materials India. As part of the program, we had the honour of presenting Achyon, our production tool developed for the Advanced Packaging industry. Achyon is powered by our breakthrough Localised Electrochemical Modelling (LEM) technology, which redefines metal deposition by combining precision, speed, and scalability in a single additive process. ASTRA 2024 brought together some of the most innovative startups across semiconductors, AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and materials science. We are proud to stand alongside fellow cohort members Augmentus, CloudSEK, CynLr, Distil, and XYMA Analytics, each tackling transformative challenges in their fields. A big thank you to Applied Ventures and Applied Materials for organising such an impactful event, and the opportunity to represent Syenta on the global stage.

Syenta in the US: Showcasing LEM at SPIE and IMAPS DPC 2025 The Syenta team is excited to be spending two productive weeks in the US, connecting with industry leaders and showcasing our breakthrough Localised Electrochemical Modelling (LEM) technology. Our CTO, Ben Wilkinson, presented at SPIE Advanced Lithography + Patterning on February 24 in San Jose, highlighting how LEM combines micron-resolution stamp-based patterning with localised electrodeposition for efficient, scalable metallisation. 👉 More details here Ben also teamed up with our Head of Sales & BD, Sebastiaan Muller, for a joint presentation at IMAPS DPC 2025 in Phoenix on March 5 during the poster session—followed by some light-hearted fun at the 3D InCites Backyard Olympics. Whether you're working in Advanced Packaging, MEMS, Quantum, Photonics, Medical devices—or any application requiring precise metal deposition—LEM can simplify and accelerate your process. Reach out to the team to learn more about how Syenta is redefining metallisation.

We’re thrilled to announce that Syenta has been selected as one of the recipients of the prestigious 2024 Physical Sciences Fund (PSF), awarded by the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer. With our stamp-based deposition technology, we can fabricate the critical chip components needed for AI and quantum computing faster and cheaper. This funding will accelerate our product development and bring some critical capabilities in-house. The PSF backs bold innovations across the physical sciences that deliver real-world impact—and we’re proud to be recognised alongside other pioneering NSW companies. With this funding, we’ll be advancing our unique Localised Electrochemical Modelling (LEM) technology by scaling up the area of our stamp deposition process for advanced packaging applications. LEM represents a paradigm shift in semiconductor manufacturing. By combining deposition and patterning into a single additive step, LEM streamlines the traditionally complex and costly advanced packaging process. The result? Faster, safer, and more scalable production of high-performance electronics. We’re grateful to the NSW Government and the Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer for their support and belief in our vision. Onward to a smarter, more efficient semiconductor future. #Innovation #Semiconductors #AdvancedPackaging #NSWGovernment #PhysicalSciences #LEM #Syenta
