Penta Global Ltd to distribute Siemens Industry Software’s products in BD

Penta Global Ltd. has entered into an agreement with Siemens Industry Software Limited (SISW) to serve as an authorized distributor of Siemens EDA products, training and support services to SISW customers in Bangladesh. The authorization was formally confirmed by Siemens Industry Software recently.

The agreement will expand local access to Siemens EDA technology and support Bangladesh’s growing semiconductor design ecosystem. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools are critical across the semiconductor value chain, including chip design, verification, signoff and advanced packaging.

Talent development will be a key priority for Penta Global, promoting university-industry collaboration and job-ready skills through Siemens EDA technology, training and technical support. Siemens EDA training programs will help benchmark local talent against global industry practices and strengthen readiness for opportunities in the international semiconductor industry.

The initiative will also strengthen connections among Bangladesh’s universities, semiconductor companies, global experts and diaspora professionals to facilitate knowledge transfer and industry collaboration in emerging areas such as AI-driven chip design, advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration-including 3D-IC and chiplet-based design-and digital twin technologies. It will also support local semiconductor design-service companies in moving up the value chain toward IP and product development, responding to the evolving global semiconductor design and development landscape.

Faysal Zaman, Managing Director of Penta Global Ltd., said, “Bangladesh has a strong foundation of skilled engineers, a growing technology sector, increasing university engagement and an experienced global Bangladeshi professional community. By connecting these capabilities with advanced technology, infrastructure, investment, international partnerships and global markets, Bangladesh can build higher-value capabilities in semiconductor design, technology and intellectual property.”

Denis Lobzov, Partner Account Manager, Siemens EDA,said,:” The authorization of Penta Global marks a strategic milestone in our 'Country as a Customer' initiative for Bangladesh. By aligning Siemens’ global technology leadership with Bangladesh’s national goals, we are not just entering a market-we are building a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem from the ground up. This success is the result of a collective effort involving visionary policymakers, academic institutions, and high-tech entrepreneurs. We are committed to empowering local talent with the magic of EDA to drive innovation in AI, 3D-IC, and digital twin technologies, ensuring Bangladesh takes its rightful place in the global semiconductor value chain.”

As an authorized distributor, Penta Global will provide a local interface for Siemens EDA technology, training and technical support, helping connect Bangladesh’s engineering talent, academia and semiconductor industry with global technology and opportunities.
