There are several highly specialized competence nodes within the country, but there has been a lack of national coordination and strategy to strengthen Sweden&#039;s position in this critical sector. Now the industry organization Swedish Electronics, with support from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth and Development and partners such as <strong>RISE, Lund University, Halmstad University, Ideon Sciencepark<\/strong> and <strong>PhotonicSweden<\/strong>, the initiative for Semicon Sweden \u2013 an initiative that will bring together industrial companies, startups, research institutes and academia on a common platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>National coordination for increased competitiveness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Semicon Sweden aims to build capacity and knowledge across the entire semiconductor value chain. By connecting different actors in industry and academia, the aim is to create a strong ecosystem for innovation and industrial growth. The goal is to increase competitiveness, attract more investments and strengthen Sweden&#039;s role in European collaborations, including the EU&#039;s Chips JU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-1024x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-738777\" style=\"width:699px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-1024x218.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-768x164.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-1536x328.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-2048x437.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SV-Medfinansieras-av-Europeiska-unionen_POS-1920x410.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Major investments in semiconductors for the industry of the future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, SSF, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Development and Vinnova have financed a number of projects in the semiconductor area, including:<strong>\u00a0SCCC, C3NiT, ClassIC, 6G, Pilot line 4<\/strong> and <strong>\u201dSemiconductors \u2013 a Swedish value chain\u201d<\/strong>.

Through the initiative, these players gain access to valuable knowledge, strategic networks and new business opportunities, while becoming more visible in the European market through a unified voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Collaboration is key<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Sweden to take a leading role in semiconductor technology, a strong and dynamic ecosystem is required where actors collaborate to strengthen the country&#039;s position. Through Semicon Sweden, companies, research institutes and academia can contribute to building a robust infrastructure for development and innovation in the semiconductor sector. Together, we can ensure Sweden&#039;s future competitiveness and establish ourselves as a significant player in strategic technology areas such as advanced semiconductors, AI and quantum technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full press release here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/via.tt.se\/pressmeddelande\/3781175\/sverige-satsar-pa-halvledare-nytt-initiativ-for-nationell-samordning?publisherId=3235920&amp;lang=sv\">https:\/\/via.tt.se\/pressmeddelande\/3781175\/sverige-satsar-pa-halvledare-nytt-initiativ-for-nationell-samordning<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under our focus areas you can read more about how we work with it.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/svenskelektronik.se\/fokusomraden\/den-strategiskt-viktiga-halvledarfragan\/\">important semiconductor issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Svensk Elektronik leder etableringen av Semicon Sweden, ett nytt initiativ f\u00f6r nationell samordning av halvledarekosystemet. &#8221;Med denna satsning tar Sverige n\u00e4sta steg f\u00f6r att st\u00e4rka sin position i Europa och etablera sig som en betydande akt\u00f6r inom halvledarteknologi och framtidens elektronik&#8221;, s\u00e4ger Sofia Persson Bj\u00f6rk, ordf\u00f6rande i Svensk Elektronik.
