AMO GmbH announces the approval of the first step towards the Digital Hardware Hub Aachen

The SiNANO Institute is thrilled to share that one of its member, AMO GmbH, got approval for the first phase of the ambitious Digital Hardware Hub Aachen project! This initiative, starting with the “DigiHub-IT” sub-project, represents a major step towards creating a central infrastructure for micro- and nanotechnology in the Rhenish mining area, supported by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the German Federal Government.

With a vision to foster innovation in deep-tech hardware, the Hub will provide cutting-edge facilities, including a new building with a cleanroom, office, and lab space, not just for AMO but also for start-ups and companies in the region.

“The digitalHUB is a place where start-ups and entrepreneurs and innovative people get together to innovate and create, mostly, software solutions. But I am convinced that the future also needs hardware. We need novel computer chips, batteries, power electronics and environmental technologies to fight climate change. So we need hardware, and for that it takes infrastructure and it takes an environment where this deep-tech can be invented and developed. And this is what we want to build: digital-hardware hub, where experts in hardware technology can meet, discuss, and research together to create the technological solutions of tomorrow,” explained Lemme.
