Leading Europe
into the Intelligent Digital Future.
INSIDE Industry Association is the European Technology Platform for research,
design and innovation on Intelligent Digital Systems and their
applications.
Empower
Gain knowledge from a collaborative community of innovators, research leaders, and big corporations. Learn, share, and contribute to a thriving network of 270 members with workshops, events, and research efforts that drive innovation.
Collaborate
Join forces to build impactful project proposals with financial support options like CHIPS-JU, Xecs, and the Chips Act. Co-create solutions in key technologies, working toward a smarter, sustainable future getting involved in collaborative initiatives.
Shape
Drive the European strategy for Intelligent Digital Systems. Co-author research agendas, engage in thought leadership, and elevate your influence within a network spanning the full Electronic Components and Systems value chain.
INSIDE is as much about coming to understand one’s own competencies as it is about developing new ones. “In too many cases, people think they can ask a company to come and help them. This will not work in the long term as you don’t have the core competencies yourself. You have to understand the level of competency your organisation needs to be functional and competitive.
—Jerker Delsing – Lulea University of Technology
