Empyrean Technology SUPPLY CHAIN TRACE

EDA TOOLS🇨🇳 China · 301269 · SZSE

Empyrean Technology (华大九天) is China's largest domestic EDA (chip design software) vendor, founded in 2009 by Liu Weiping, a veteran of China's early 'Panda' EDA project. Listed on Shenzhen's ChiNext board, Empyrean holds roughly 6% of China's total EDA market but is by far the top domestic player — a position built directly on the 2022 US export restrictions that limited Cadence and Synopsys sales to Chinese chipmakers.
