News
Building Europe SemiConductor Future
In response to rising geopolitical pressures, nine EU nations have launched the Semiconductor Coalitionโa unified effort to boost Europeโs chipmaking capacity, innovation, and strategic autonomy. Backed by โฌ43B from the EU Chips Act, the initiative aims to strengthen resilience and global competitiveness.
Europe is ready to leadโwith internationalism, innovation, and investment.
Discover How Arrowhead fPVN is Revolutionizing Industry with Seamless IoT Integration
The Arrowhead fPVN project boosts industrial productivity in Europe by improving data interoperability, flexibility, and resilience in sectors like automotive and aerospace. A new CLI tool simplifies development, automates tasks, and enables faster, more efficient integration.
Chips IT joins inside to drive innovation in Semiconductors design
Weโre excited to welcome Fondazione Chips-IT ! As Italyโs top Research Institute for Integrated Circuit Design, they bridge industry and academia, advancing semiconductor innovation. This partnership strengthens our mission to drive global research, accelerate breakthroughs, and support the next generation of semiconductors.
Discover AIMS5.0 = The Future of EuropeAn Manufacturing
AIMS5.0 is revolutionizing European manufacturing with AI and IoT, driving Industry 5.0. This โฌ70M EU-funded project enhances digital sovereignty, resilient supply chains, and sustainable factories, cutting time-to-market by 20%, reducing environmental impact by 20%, and halving equipment monitoring time.
Svensk Elektronik Joins INSIDE to Strengthen Eu’s Semiconductor Ecosystem
Weโre excited to welcome Svensk Elektronik as a member of INSIDE, giving them access to key networks, knowledge, and projects like Semicon Sweden. As Sweden’s top electronics trade organization, Svensk Elektronik drives industry growth and global competitiveness, while advocating for key issues with stakeholders like government bodies and regulators.
Discover SC4EU: True Demand-Driven Semiconductor Supply Chains for Europe
SC4EU is an EU initiative enhancing semiconductor supply chains through secure data-sharing, boosting Europe’s competitiveness and technological sovereignty. This โฌ4.5 million project, running from 2023 to 2026, sets new standards for efficiency and resilience in semiconductor production.
INSIDE is as much about coming to understand oneโs own competencies as it is about developing new ones. โIn 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 donโt have the core competencies yourself. You have to understand the level of competency your organisation needs to be functional and competitive.
