Investing in semiconductors is investing in economic resilience. This principle lies at the heart of the EU Chips Act and its initiatives, such as the NanoIC project – hosted by imec – and the other European pilot lines.

This means the ambition goes beyond technological advancement. It’s about ensuring that fundamental innovations are effectively adopted by industry to generate tangible impact on both the economy and society.

But in practice, how will semiconductor breakthroughs such as advanced logic nodes, 3D integration, and integrated photonics, affect application domains ranging from health to automotive and security? What steps need to be taken to bridge the gap between research and manufacturing?

Join imec at ITF Chip into the future at SEMICON® Europa where we will explore some of these questions together.
