The project, called 'Silicon Europe Eurocluster', will run until February 2025 and has a budget of over €1.5 million funded by the European Union. Its implementation aims to help Europe maintain sovereignty in microelectronics, components, and systems, thanks in part to the alliance and the clusters involved.
“We want to improve collaboration between companies in our regions, enabling them to share their needs and complement their offerings with companies from other regions. To this end, they can use our alliance as a platform to create these synergies. We are firmly convinced of the value of this interregional collaboration for the overall benefit of companies and the European electronics sector,” emphasize the consortium, which includes organizations from France, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Bulgaria, and Spain.
The participating entities, including the Basque cluster GAIA, have already begun working on the initial stages of the project, focusing on analyzing the European market and each of the regions. The preparation of a report on each of the existing electronics ecosystems, as well as the industries and sectors in which they are applied; and the creation and implementation of a 'community' platform to find companies that supply electronics/microelectronics.
Expected Results
Regarding the expected results of the 'Silicon Europe Eurocluster' project, the following are among those highlighted:
• Creation of a dozen new technological products and services that improve key supplies for electronics and microelectronics. The aim is for Europe to be less dependent on other markets, such as Asia.
• Funding and development of 12 innovation projects to adapt processes and technologies to the green and digital economy.
• 300 companies benefiting, at different levels, from the 'Silicon Europe Eurocluster' project.
• Promotion of business partnerships: Signing of agreements between 20 of the beneficiary companies.
• Training of individuals to attract talent.
• Support for the internationalization of 15 companies.
