Strengthen the position of the Netherlands

Together, we strengthen the position of the Dutch semiconductor industry

The ChipNL Competence Centre acts as the link between industry, knowledge institutions, and government to strengthen the Dutch semiconductor sector. Each of our services is supported by a network of partners and experts who help companies grow and position themselves within the European semiconductor sector.

Whether you are a startup seeking expertise, a scale-up aiming to reach international markets, an SME looking for support in product development, or a knowledge institution seeking collaboration, CCCNL provides a single point of access to navigate the complex semiconductor ecosystem.

Thanks to our integration in the European network of Competence Centres and the Silicon Europe Alliance, we make it easier for Dutch organisations to increase their international visibility and gain access to new markets, facilities, and partnerships.
