High Tech

Stronger and smaller

We are facing major transitions in society. To do so, we need ever more powerful and ever smaller chips. Innovation in chip technology is therefore key, and Lifeport provides the ecosystem to innovate quickly. Companies, knowledge institutes and governments work closely together to develop chips and make them applicable. Chips that process large amounts of data quickly. And chips that are small enough to fit everywhere.

Talent for chips

The chip industry is growing rapidly. How can you attract and retain sufficient talent (mbo, hbo and wo)? Knowledge institutions and leading companies are developing training programmes in project Beethoven to attract and retain sufficient talent. In addition, students already find many opportunities in Lifeport to immerse themselves in High Tech and work with it in practical situations.

The future of chips at Lifeport

Semiconductors, also known as chips, form the basis of our digital society. They are found in cars, medical equipment, energy systems and virtually all modern electronics. The Lifeport Arnhem-Nijmegen region plays a key role in this. With more than 50 companies, over 10,000 employees and an annual output of approximately €3.5 billion worth of chips and equipment, the region is a major player within the European semiconductor industry.
