Connecting Technology, Talent, and Europe to the Dutch Semicon Sector: An Ecosystem Overview Through ChipNL CC
During this session, it is explained how the Netherlands performs within the European semiconductor landscape, where technological expertise and talent development converge. ChipNL CC provides an overview of the national ecosystem and shows how Dutch strengths are linked with Europe through pilot lines, the EU Chips Design Platform, and cross-border collaboration.
