Finland’s contribution to European semiconducting pilot lines is strengthening its position in the European chip industry and creating new growth opportunities for businesses.
The chip industry is crucial for Finland’s long-term competitiveness as we require access to the latest technology and expertise to develop, manufacture, and harness critical technologies. Finland brings to the European chip industry solid expertise and experience in specialised microelectronics, including radio frequency (RF), micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), integrated photonics, materials and process development, integration technologies, and superconducting quantum technology.
Chip technology truly represents deep technology, as its underlying principles and manufacturing environments are highly advanced. For example, the most complex chip patterning devices contain more than 40,000 components and have taken decades and billions of euros to develop. The eventual commercialisation of such devices is the culmination of countless visions, inventions, innovations, ambitions, working hours, and funding.
