ICOS – Plenary Session at EFECS 2024: Presentation available

ICOS at EFECS! Visit our Booth and attend to the Plenary Session

From smartphones to cars, medical devices, and satellites, semiconductors are everywhere.
Strengthening the position of Europe in this field is thus of strategic importance.
The aim of ICOS is to fuel the growth of the European Semiconductor and Semiconductor-based photonics industry
by fostering international research cooperation, in line with the EU Chips Act’s objectives.

“Chips are necessary for the green and digital transition – and for the competitiveness of European industry.”

“Without chips, no digital transition, no green transition, no technological leadership.
Securing the supply in the most advanced chips has become an economic and geopolitical priority”

“In the short term, …. to anticipate and avoid supply chain disruptions (in semiconductors).
And in the mid-term, it will help make Europe an industrial leader in this strategic branch”

“There is no Digital Without Chips”
