Growing in a complex semiconductor landscape

Growth in the semiconductor industry requires clear choices, good timing and access to the right networks. ChipNL CC supports startups, scale-ups and SMEs in achieving sustainable growth within a complex and international semiconductor landscape.

Growing successfully in the semiconductor sector means navigating long development cycles, capital-intensive investments and a fragmented funding and ecosystem landscape. Many organisations know where they want to go, but are looking for structure, clarity and direction to take the right next steps.

ChipNL CC helps companies structure their growth path, gain insight into relevant routes and build connections that enable growth, within the Netherlands and across Europe.

Supporting growth within the semiconductor ecosystem

ChipNL CC acts as an independent point of contact for companies seeking to grow within the semiconductor value chain. We support organisations by helping them gain clarity, make well-considered choices and build connections that enable further growth.

In our role as the national semiconductor hub, we support organisations by:

  • sharpening and structuring their growth challenge,

  • providing insight into relevant national and European funding instruments,

  • connecting companies with partners, programmes and initiatives that support growth.

Business growth is always about strengthening a company’s position and long-term perspective within the ecosystem, rather than pursuing quick fixes.

Insight into funding and positioning

Funding often plays an important role in enabling growth. ChipNL CC helps companies gain insight into the funding landscape and supports them in identifying routes that fit their growth ambitions.

We support organisations by:

  • interpreting available national and European funding instruments,

  • helping position a company or innovation within existing programmes,

  • and clarifying the right timing and next steps.

Funding is not a goal in itself. ChipNL CC helps organisations understand routes and timing, so that funding can contribute to sustainable growth, rather than drive it.

Funding only works when the context is right. That is why ChipNL CC helps companies first structure and position their growth challenge within the ecosystem

Clear expectations around growth and funding

ChipNL CC helps companies navigate the funding and ecosystem landscape. By providing clarity and context around available routes, conditions and interdependencies, organisations gain a better understanding of which steps are appropriate at each stage of growth. ChipNL CC connects organisations with relevant public and private parties, without taking on an operational or commercial role.

ChipNL CC does not prepare funding applications, does not provide funding itself and does not act as an investor or commercial advisor. This clear role definition helps manage expectations and supports effective and transparent collaboration within the semiconductor ecosystem.

Who Business Growth is for

Business Growth is designed for startups and scale-ups aiming to scale their activities, for SMEs seeking to strengthen their position within the semiconductor value chain, and for organisations that need structure, direction and access to programmes that support growth.

Business Growth does not stand alone. Growth is closely linked to internationalisation, access to technology and talent development. ChipNL CC therefore always looks at the broader context of an organisation and, where relevant, connects companies with other services.

ChipNL CC operates independently and without commercial interest. We guide, connect and open doors, helping companies take the right steps more effectively and realise their growth potential within a strong Dutch and European semiconductor ecosystem.
