Building Australia's Sovereign Semiconductor Infrastructure

Australia's First Sovereign OSAT Facility.

Australia has no OSAT facility. Not one. Every advanced chip destined for Australian data centres, defence systems, and AI infrastructure is packaged offshore — by foreign-owned incumbents with no sovereign accountability.

NextZen AI is building the facility that changes that.

The Australia Gap
Every hyperscaler — AWS, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA — runs advanced packaging through TSMC, Amkor, or ASE. All are foreign-owned, foreign-operated, and structurally unable to offer the sovereign security, transparency, and speed that Australia's AI and defence infrastructure demands.

Australia is an AUKUS partner. A Five Eyes nation. Home to AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud data centres. A country spending billions on AI infrastructure. And it has not a single OSAT facility.

The National Reconstruction Fund has AUD $15B to deploy into advanced manufacturing. Zero OSAT applications have been received. The market is completely open. The first mover owns it permanently.

Australia's most
advanced
packaging facility.

72-Hour Failure Analysis
GPU and HBM module FA in 72 hours guaranteed. Live customer dashboard. Real-time defect pareto. Full chain of custody. No black box. This is what hyperscalers cannot get from any incumbent today.
Core Differentiator
2.5D / 3D Advanced Packaging
Flip-chip BGA, HBM stack integration, chiplet assembly, and silicon interposer builds. Time-boxed NPI pilot windows. Copy-exact discipline from day one. Built for the AI compute module era.
Phase 1 — Melbourne
🛡
Secure Sovereign Capacity
DISP-ready secure bays. Auditable quality data. Australian-sovereign supply chain for AUKUS Pillar 2 and defence community packaging needs. The trust layer that foreign-owned incumbents structurally cannot offer.

Live Intelligence Dashboard
Every customer gets a real-time portal showing yield trends, WIP tracking, SPC control charts, and FA status. Packaging as a transparent service, not a black box. First in the industry.
Industry First
Copy-Exact Replication Discipline
Every process, every flow, every qualification — documented to copy-exact standards from day one. Built to replicate at any scale, in any location, on demand. The foundation of a multi-facility platform, not a one-site service.
Platform Discipline
AI-Native Operations
MES architecture built for real-time AI inference. Predictive yield modelling. Automated defect classification. The first OSAT built by a security architect for an AI-first world — with zero-trust and chain-of-custody by design.

The Roadmap

One facility.
Built right.
Then scaled.

Phase 1 — Active
Year 0 → 3 · Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Australia — Prove the Model
FA lab and NPI pilot attach line in Melbourne. Target LOIs: DST Group, NEXTDC, Morse Micro, AWS AU. NRF co-investment pathway. AUKUS Pillar 2 defence supply chain. Copy-exact playbook documented from day one. 43.5% R&D Tax Incentive. First revenue from retainers and NRE deposits before capital raise closes.

Phase 2 — Horizon
Year 3 → 6 · Melbourne, Australia
Scale — Capacity & Reach
Full-scale advanced packaging and test facility. Expanded capability across heterogeneous integration, compound semiconductors, and defence-grade secure processing. The Melbourne facility is designed copy-exact from day one — built to replicate at any scale, in any location, on demand. Roadmap beyond Phase 1 follows proof, not promise.

Valuation Trajectory

is open now.
Not in five years.

11%
Annual Market Growth Rate
Advanced packaging is growing at 11.73% CAGR — driven by heterogeneous integration that has become indispensable for AI processors exceeding thermal and interconnect limits of conventional packaging. The bottleneck is not chips. It is packaging.

Amkor's Arizona — Market Validation
Amkor broke ground on a $7B advanced packaging campus in Arizona. The NRF has AUD $15B allocated to exactly this category in Australia — with zero OSAT applications received. The infrastructure supercycle is not coming — it is already here.

OSAT Facilities in Australia
Not one. TSMC is Taiwanese. Amkor's production is entirely offshore. ASE is Taiwanese. No sovereign, auditable, Australian-operated OSAT facility exists anywhere in the country. NextZen AI owns that position by default — and the NRF has AUD $15B waiting for exactly this.
20yr
AI Hardware Supercycle
GPU clusters, HBM stacks, and AI accelerators will require advanced packaging at scale for the next two decades. This is not a product cycle. It is infrastructure for the AI economy — the same way data centres were infrastructure for the internet.

"I spent 20 years building sovereign infrastructure for Australia's most critical institutions. The AI economy is being bottlenecked by packaging infrastructure that the hyperscalers don't trust and the world doesn't have enough of. NextZen AI is my answer to both problems simultaneously."
Shantanuu Roy is a cybersecurity architect with two decades of experience protecting critical enterprise infrastructure across finance, healthcare, and technology. His background in zero-trust architecture, chain-of-custody systems, and auditable security posture is the unique lens through which NextZen AI's OSAT platform is designed — not just as a manufacturing business, but as a trust infrastructure for the AI supply chain.

With 20+ years protecting critical infrastructure at ANZ Bank, ATO, NBN Co, and Energy Queensland, Shantanuu brings the security-native lens, government relationships, and enterprise trust that most semiconductor founders spend years trying to build.

He is actively building the technical co-founder team and seeking anchor investors who understand that the packaging bottleneck is the defining infrastructure challenge of the AI decade.

The moats are
structural,
not incremental.

First-Mover in Australia
No OSAT facility exists in Australia. The first to build it owns the NRF co-investment, the AUKUS defence contracts, and the hyperscaler LOIs permanently. This advantage cannot be bought — only built. And it compounds with time.
Non-Dilutive Capital Stack
The NRF has AUD $15B allocated to advanced manufacturing — zero OSAT applications received. Combined with the 43.5% R&D Tax Incentive and AUKUS defence co-investment pathways, the majority of facility capex is fundable without equity dilution.

Security-Native Design
Founded by a cybersecurity architect. DISP compliance, secure bays, and chain-of-custody are designed in from day one — not bolted on. The sovereign trust narrative that foreign-owned incumbents structurally cannot replicate.
Copy-Exact Platform Discipline
Every process, every flow, every qualification — documented to copy-exact standards. Built to replicate at any scale, in any location, on demand. This is how NextZen AI scales without quality decay.
Hyperscaler-Aligned Roadmap
72-hour FA SLA, live customer dashboards, and time-boxed NPI windows are designed around what AWS AU, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Google actually need — and cannot get from foreign-owned incumbents today.
20-Year Supercycle Tailwind
AI hardware investment is not a product cycle. It is a two-decade infrastructure build. NextZen AI's revenue grows every time a new GPU cluster, LLM inference farm, or AI accelerator is deployed anywhere in the world.

The infrastructure
the AI economy
cannot exist without.

NextZen AI is raising its pre-seed round to fund Melbourne site selection, anchor LOI execution, and the first senior packaging hire. Australia's sovereign OSAT moment is now. The NRF window, the AUKUS demand, and the zero-competitor position will not last indefinitely. This is the moment to be in the room.
