About this programme

About the programme

The aim of the European Chips Act, is to bolster Europe’s competitiveness and resilience in semiconductor technologies and applications to support the green and digital transition. The Chips for Europe Initiative, part of the EU Chips Act, aims to reinforce the European semiconductor ecosystem and Europe’s technological leadership and will be implemented by the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU).

The Chips JU, with funding from both Digital Europe and Horizon Europe, will

  • Set up pre-commercial, innovative pilot lines, providing industry state-of-the-art facilities to test, experiment and validate semiconductor technologies and system design concepts;
  • Deploy a cloud-based Design Platform for design companies across the EU;
  • Support the development of advanced technology and engineering capacities for quantum chips;
  • Establish a network of competence centres and promote skills development.

The Chips JU is a public-private partnership that supports research, development, and manufacturing capacities in the European semiconductor ecosystem.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
