Svensk Elektronik is the host organization for Semicon Sweden, the national initiative that works to proactively build an alliance of actors from industry, academia and research to strengthen Sweden's semiconductor ecosystem. Through active dialogue with authorities and decision-makers, Semicon Sweden contributes to defining and coordinating Sweden's strategic role in a European and global context. At the same time, Semicon Sweden works to make Swedish cutting-edge expertise visible internationally, increase our global footprint and establish Sweden as a sought-after partner for collaboration, innovation and investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Semicon Sweden? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Semiconductors are the foundation of all modern technology \u2013 they power everything from your smartphone to the electric vehicles of the future and renewable energy. As global demand surges and supply chains evolve, Europe is making strategic investments to ensure its technological sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Sweden is not yet a dominant force on the global semiconductor map, we possess world-class research and development, deep clusters of expertise and a strong tradition of collaboration. What has been missing is a unified national voice. Through Semicon Sweden, we bring together key players from academia, start-ups, industry and research institutes to build a resilient, innovative and globally connected semiconductor ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strategic goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Initiator:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Swedish Electronics (host organization and coordinator), RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Lund University, Halmstad University, Ideon Science Park, PhotonicSweden, Region Sk\u00e5ne, Region \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative is run with a grant from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Development (Tillv\u00e4xtverket).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join Semicon Sweden's network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Become an active part of Semicon Sweden to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more and join Semicon Sweden https:\/\/semiconsweden.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The establishment of competence centers according to Chips JU has begun for Europe and for Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These centres will conduct research and education in areas that are important for sustainable industrial and digital transformation and will be specialised in different key areas. The centres will play a fundamental role in strengthening Europe's semiconductor innovation ecosystem by providing companies \u2013 in particular SMEs and start-ups \u2013 with essential resources to develop semiconductor solutions, including support, training and access to infrastructure facilities established under the Chips Act, such as pilot lines and design platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This targeted approach ensures long-term investment in local expertise, creating a sustained focus on innovation and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Sweden, Vinnova, together with universities and companies, is investing in eleven new competence centers (counted from January 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal is for new knowledge and groundbreaking technology to be developed, disseminated and used to ultimately strengthen Sweden's competitiveness. The initiative will also contribute to attracting top talent for world-leading research and development in Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Competence center for semiconductor development \u2013 Swedish Chip Competence Center (SCCC) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Semicon Sweden has a close collaboration with the Swedish Chip Competence Center (SCCC), Sweden's central node for semiconductor competence. SCCC supports and connects startups and small and medium-sized companies with researchers and innovators in cutting-edge technology. By offering education and support, they facilitate access to semiconductor technology and financing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As an active part of the European Network of Competence Centres for Chips (ENCCC) within the Chips JU, SCCC bridges the gap between advanced research and market introduction. They offer concrete guidance and connect different actors to provide access to semiconductor technology, training, financing, pilot lines and advanced equipment. In this way, SCCC contributes to the success of both Swedish and European companies in the semiconductor industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SCCC exists to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
