Strategy and technology.
From insight to delivery.
Strategic advice, technical expertise and experienced leadership for businesses and investors. From technology and operations to semiconductors, acquisitions and compliance, we help you make informed decisions and put them into practice.
Industry experience
Expertise you can put to work.
All expertise →Semiconductor advisory
Make investment, product and manufacturing decisions with a clearer view of opportunity and risk.
Test the assumptions behind an acquisition, product roadmap or manufacturing investment before committing resources. We combine commercial analysis with packaging, product and test engineering experience to help you assess feasibility, cost and the demands of delivery.
AI and Machine Learning
Improve decisions, reduce manual work and strengthen operational performance with AI designed around your business.
Put AI to work where it can improve service, speed up decisions or reduce operational effort. We design and implement decision support systems, AI agents and automation using LLMs, SLMs and decision models, alongside machine learning and computer vision for operational technology (OT) and industrial environments. Evaluation, monitoring and governance help you understand performance, control costs and retain oversight as systems move into daily use.
Fractional leadership
Build high-performance teams and take control of technology, delivery and risk with fractional or interim CTO, CIO and CISO leadership.
Give your business the senior leadership needed to make decisions, build high-performance teams and deliver change. Our leadership team has consistently demonstrated its ability to create and optimise teams, combining clear direction and accountability with the autonomy, coaching and working conditions skilled people need to perform. Our fractional and interim CTOs, CIOs and CISOs lead strategy, budgets and execution through growth, transformation and crisis recovery.
Technology compliance
Protect market access, control technology and security exposure, and make compliance workable across IT, OT and international trade.
Know what can be shared, supplied or exported, which approvals are needed and what evidence supports the decision. We turn technology, security and export-compliance requirements, including ITAR, EAR and EU dual-use controls where applicable, into practical workflows, access controls and oversight across products, software, technical data and operations.
Technology consulting
Invest where technology can improve performance, reduce operational friction and support growth.
Turn a business problem into a delivery plan your team can act on. We help you assess investment choices, recover difficult programmes and use AI or automation where the expected benefit justifies the cost, complexity and risk.
Engineering, implementation, and operation
Turn plans into working systems, deliver changes with confidence and keep services dependable and cost-effective.
Get the engineering capacity to build, integrate and run the systems your business depends on. We bring together software engineering, cloud and edge infrastructure, IT/OT integration, DevOps and SecOps to reduce manual work, improve release reliability and make services easier to operate, secure and maintain.
Industry 4.0 and IoT
Improve uptime, quality and resource use by connecting equipment, operational data and business decisions.
Give operations teams a clearer view of what is happening across machines, processes and sites. We connect OT, sensors and industrial systems with data platforms and business applications, helping you reduce manual reporting, improve traceability and target improvements in maintenance, quality and energy use.
Digital Transformation and Cloud
Improve business performance and control costs by modernising processes, applications and the infrastructure they depend on.
Make technology easier to operate, adapt and afford. We lead digital transformation and migrations to cloud, from cloud to on-premises infrastructure, between providers and across hybrid environments. Our breadth across leadership, software, AI, IT, OT, security and operations helps you address the whole change, with decisions based on business value and total cost.
Case studies.
All case studies →Export compliance for global semiconductor testing
Specialist export-compliance support for a semiconductor testing business operating internationally.
A global semiconductor testing company engaged SemiSphere for export-compliance support, connecting two areas of our expertise: the semiconductor industry and technology compliance.
Evidence-led decision support with multiple AI perspectives
Assess competing arguments, challenge assumptions and trace recommendations back to supporting information.
AESIR combines a council of AI models with a RAG and research architecture to connect structured deliberation with relevant evidence. Designed and built by Martijn Dekkers, it supports reviewable analysis with controlled resource use.
Control and continuity in AI-assisted software delivery
Coordinate specialist AI agents, keep work moving across sessions and require evidence before accepting completion.
OCHI, OpenCode Heavy Industries, coordinates specialist AI agents within a managed development workflow. Persistent conversations, dependency-aware execution and evidence requirements help teams supervise progress and review completed work.
Making export compliance manageable across products and markets
Reduce repeated investigation, make export decisions easier to review and retain the evidence behind them.
Designed and built by Martijn Dekkers, ExportSentry connects classification, export decisions and supporting evidence across semiconductors, electronics, industrial equipment and engineering. Available today, with SemiSphere Group acting as a sales representative.
Semiconductor acquisition due diligence
Market insight and specialist access for an investment firm.
During commercial due diligence on a semiconductor acquisition, an investment firm needed market insight and access to a specialist in the target company’s niche.
Clear oversight of airline crew testing
Less time chasing updates. Clearer accountability. Better evidence of what happened and when.
CDATS, the Crew Drug and Alcohol Testing System, is designed to help operational teams coordinate time-sensitive handovers, track progress and capture supporting evidence alongside their existing testing systems.
Leadership team
Work directly with our leadership team.
Our leadership team connects technical decisions with business strategy, drawing on experience across information technology, AI, automation and semiconductors. We are a global team, experienced in working across disciplines and borders. We draw on a broad network of associates, partners and freelancers to provide the expertise your project needs. Our teams work on site, nearshore, offshore or remotely, giving you flexible, cost-effective access to specialist skills. We have teams in place across the United States and Europe, including Portugal, France, Germany, Greece, and Romania.
