Leading Europe
into the Intelligent Digital Future.
INSIDE is the European Technology Platform for RD&I in Intelligent
Digital Systems and their applications. It advances Europe’s technological
sovereignty as the formal representative within the Chips Joint Undertaking.
Empower
Connect with 270+ global companies, SMEs, startups, universities, and research institutes. Learn, contribute, and drive innovation through collaborative events, workshops, and research.
Shape
Shape the future of Intelligent Digital Systems in Europe. Take a leading role in defining strategic priorities, co-authoring research agendas, and driving leadership across the entire ECS 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
