The Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory is a new European platform to accelerate innovation in chips
Inl also explains, The European Union, which is coordinated by IMEC in Belgium, consists of 12 European institutions. platform EurocdpRunning in the range Is the European Chips LawIts goal Clarify access to design and innovation resources in semiconductors, This is an essential sector to develop modern technologies.
EUROCDP will also work Direct support tool for the growth of Fabless chipsThat is, companies are in the semiconductor area that have no own manufacturing facilities.
According to, The platform will work in a cloud -based environmentAllow resource accesses such as chips design, technical training and capital development tools. Starting companies and first small and medium -sized companies are expected to start integrating into the platform at the beginning of 2026.
“EUROCDP is an essential step in training startups and small and medium -sized companies“This platform clogs the design of innovative chips and the industrial production bridge,” says Marina Dias, a member of the Inl project. Helping young companies to establish contact with chips production factories“.
According to Marina Dias, “The platform should work with an increasing network of efficiency centers.”Like poems, the center of Portuguese skills in semiconductors, in coordination by INL, “To reach its full potential”.
The consortium will also provide support to reach it Electronic design automation (EDA) commercial tools, intellectual property libraries (IP), Pilot Chip line technologies and IP design warehousesIncluding open source options. The project also has a file Startup support programWith custody, acceleration and guidance activities, as well as financial assistance.
“By reducing barriers that prevent access to design in design, including EDA and IP tools, reduce costs and final dates significantly and chips,We will grow the European chips design industry“Romano Hoffman, project coordinator by IMEC.
The initiative is funded through the joint pledge of the chips (Chips for you) from Finance AgreementThrough the European European Union Digital Program, It is under preparation and will be signed later this yearWith the project between 2025 and the end of 2028.
