Chipdesign Germany

The network for chipdesign in Germany

Chip design is the essential step in designing microelectronics for our own products and applications. Expertise in chip design can strengthen Germany's innovation and competitiveness and increase the technological sovereignty in Europe. In order to realize this potential, the German and European chip design ecosystem is to be expanded. To this end, the Microelectronics Design Initiative was launched, which is based on the following four key areas: a strong network as a central exchange platform, training and further education of talented and specialized staff, the implementation of collaborative research projects to strengthen design capabilities and the expansion and strengthening of research structures.

The Chipdesign Germany network is a platform for pre-competitive, open dialogue between all players involved in chip design. The aim is to develop suitable cooperation structures, consulting services for start-ups and SMEs as well as new business models.
