Semiconductors are at the forefront of the law of innovation convergence making everything the touch a much more powerful innovation and already driving a world tech economy of $3Tn Now Catalonia will chair the European Semiconductors Regions Alliance (ESRA) by voting of the alliance members which demonstrates Catalonia's leadership on the sector. On that respect I want to thank many of the partners that have been leading on this space and that are ready to take the sector specifically in Spain to the next level of industrialization From this perspective we would like to congratulate all the work and the strong dedicated teams and progress at Research and Development Institutes in Spain! 🇪🇸 Our sincere thanks to the dedicated team at Institut de Microelectrònica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC), whose expertise in semiconductors microfabrication has been fundamental in bringing this transformational technology closer to mass production following dedicated ISO standards. Together, we have been paving the way for the next generation of neural technology! Luis Fonseca Chácharo And from that, Catalonia and Spain are getting ready to take current tech to the next level with the creation of INNOFAB, a chip manufacturing technology centre, to build chips and semiconductors with advanced materials at industrial scale https://lnkd.in/drvRFUEf #InnovationInSpain #Neurotech #Semiconductors #INBRAIN Jerome Crocco Ana Ballestar Xavi Illa David Quirion
🌐 Catalonia has been elected to chair the European Semiconductor Regions Alliance (ESRA) in 2026. This strategic role was secured through a majority vote among alliance members, demonstrating strong support for Catalonia’s leadership in the semiconductor sector. 🤝 The transition will begin with Catalonia assuming the vice-presidency in 2025 during the Piedmont presidency. The official handover will take place in Turin, Italy, on November 7-8, where Piedmont will take over from Saxony, Germany. In 2026, as president, Catalonia will host the ESRA General Assembly. 💡 ESRA focuses on empowering European regions to advance #semiconductor policies, in line with the European #Chips Act's objectives of strengthening Europe’s technological sovereignty and production capabilities. Catalonia's participation is led by the Department of Business and Labor, through the Directorate General of Industry and Catalonia Trade & Investment. 🏙️ Founded in 2023 in Brussels, ESRA brings together 31 regions across Europe, including key players such as Andalusia, Basque Country, Madrid, and Valencia, as well as regions from Germany, France, Italy, and beyond. 🔧 Catalonia's semiconductor ecosystem, supported by the Catalonia Semiconductor and Chip Alliance, boasts over 260 companies and entities generating €302 million in revenue and employing more than 4,600 skilled professionals. https://lnkd.in/d-hE38zq
