Video Summary

Pedro Roseiro, Project Manager at Inova-Ria, a Portuguese non-profit organisation focused on the IT, communications and electronics sectors, and partner of The Microelectronics Agenda, discusses Portugal’s semiconductor sector, focusing on its strengths in analogue and mixed signal design, photonics, telecoms and the automotive industry and explaining the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead as the country seeks to expand its semiconductor skills base via national programmes and continuing international partnerships. The Microelectronics Agenda underscores Portugal’s commitment to innovation, technology, and sustainable practices, offering solutions that can impact markets worldwide. The initiative also aligns with the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU), part of the broader EU strategy to strengthen the semiconductor industry in Europe, positioning Portugal as a key contributor to this goal. Microelectronics Agenda is an initiative launched under the country’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU. Led by Amkor Technology Portugal and involving 17 entities, the consortium focuses on advanced packaging, high-speed access networks, integrated optical circuits, and factories of the future, with a strong emphasis on workforce training and development.
