Joint EU/Republic of Korea Chips Projects announced

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space Semiconductors

The European Union and the Republic of Korea announce support for four jointly funded projects in semiconductors as a deliverable of the EU-Republic of Korea Digital Partnership.

The projects will advance heterogeneous integration technologies i.e. technologies combining multiple components onto one chip as well as neuromorphic computing technologies i.e. technologies imitating the functioning of the human brain. 

The projects will bring together research and innovation partners from the EU and the Republic of Korea to set up joint research teams, provide shared access to cutting-edge facilities and infrastructures and organise knowledge exchange through events.

The selected joint EU-ROK projects are:

  • ENERGIZE (developing brain-like circuits that use two-dimensional materials. This saves energy and the circuits can handle AI tasks effectively without needing centralised data centres);
  • NEHIL (developing a laser-based radar system that integrates different technologies to efficiently measure distances with high precision);
  • HAETAE (developing brain-like chips that use light in their circuitry to quickly and efficiently process AI tasks and adapt to new tasks);
  • ViTFOX (upgrading AI that processes visual data by using special materials that help save power and improve performance- materials such as ferroelectric oxides).

These are 3-year projects co-funded by the Chips Joint Undertaking under Horizon Europe, and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF).

For more information on the projects please consult the European Commission's news article.

Avia-GIS - Software Technologies for a Healthier World

Avia-GIS is a Belgian innovative SME established in 2001. They have built research and public authority trust over the past 19 years and developed a unique, disruptive software suite - VECMAP® - that supports society to overcome one of its important health threats, the spreading of Pests of Public Health importance.

With the help of a Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Phase 2 project, they will be able to add Integrated Pest Management functionalities and go to the market. With the grant, that was an essential component of their second investment round, Avia-GIS aims at raising its revenue from the current 2 M€ to 14.2 M€ in 2024, and increase the headcount from 15 to 58.
