Connecting Technology, Talent, and Europe to the Dutch Semicon Sector: An Ecosystem Overview Through ChipNL CC
Discover what makes the Netherlands a powerhouse in semiconductors—from cutting-edge technology to world-class talent. In this session, we will explain the country’s unique strengths within the European landscape and highlight the role of the European Chip Competence Centres (CCC).
You’ll gain a top-down understanding of the national semiconductor ecosystem, including the mission of Chip NL CC, how we connect Dutch capabilities to the wider European ecosystem, and how organisations can benefit from access to pilot lines, EU Chips Design Platform expertise, and cross-border collaboration opportunities.
We will also take you on a deep dive into the talent ecosystem, exploring how major national talent initiatives are shaping the sector. Learn what is already underway—and what it means for you as a talent, industry partner, educational institution, or policymaker.
