Chips Joint Undertaking Launch Event

Chips Joint Undertaking Launch Event

Daniel Hofman

We are thrilled to be at the launch event of the Chips Joint Undertaking, a groundbreaking initiative in the field of microelectronics and semiconductor technologies. In a pivotal moment for innovation, prof. dr. sc. Mario Kovač - director of the HPC Architecture and Application Research Center proudly participated in the launch event of the Chips Joint Undertaking. The event, held on 30th November - 1st December 2023 at Brussels, Belgium, brought together key stakeholders to shape the future of chip technology.  The Chips Joint Undertaking is a collaborative effort aimed at bolstering Europe's position as a global leader in the semiconductor industry. It has been formed in response to the increasing demand for advanced chip technologies and the recognition of their strategic importance across various sectors.
