Seminar: Collaboration in Semiconductor Design, Equipment and MEMS

Netherlands Innovation Network ChinaHigh Tech Systems and Materials Leave a Comment

Reason for action: Shanghai Semicon Hub and Dutch Excellence

For both China and the Netherlands, the semiconductor sector represents a significant part of the domestic innovative ecosystem. The value chain in the Netherlands is one of the globally most competitive, due to a tight interaction between universities, engineering schools and businesses. International talents work together on both established and novel concepts in this industry, where they closely integrate in an international network of excellence. The Dutch semiconductor expertise is strongest in design and equipment.

Based on growing demands and a highly skilled engineering workforce, China is rapidly ramping up its semiconductor ecosystem by increasing domestic production, broadening expertise, and developing domestic design skills. Linking to international partners in order to connect with the state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise is crucial in this development.

We would like to welcome you to participate in our seminar/networking event, to find opportunities to work together with globally operating equipment builders, design houses and the most prominent Dutch branch organization in this sector, the Business Cluster Semiconductors.
