Infrachip

The European research platform for the sustainable development of next-generation and future semiconductors chips

INFRACHIP is a European research platform for the sustainable development of next-generation and future semiconductor chips.
Through INFRACHIP, you can access for free state-of-the-art technologies in various facilities throughout Europe.
INFRACHIP aims to address the EU’s twin digital and green transition and ensure Europe’s capacity to innovate at the early to medium readiness levels, by revoking barriers in research and enhancing skills in the field of semiconductors.

INFRACHIP mobilises a critical mass of people, experts in knowledge and technology blocks, and capital investment in state-of-the-art equipment to address the EU’s twin digital and green transition and ensure Europe’s capacity to innovate at the early to medium readiness levels.

Project goals

  • Access RESEARCH FACILITIES
  • R&I capacity building,
  • Addressing the EU twin green and digital transition,
