In 2024 the University of Malaga has obtained the largest Spanish funding for the implementation of the Chip University-Business Chair Malaga Microelectronics, within the framework of the call for aid from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation aimed at financing, with funds from the European Recovery and Resilience Mechanism, the creation of University-Business Chairs in the period 2023-2027 whose activity is focused on research, dissemination and training in different areas of application of microelectronics. This Chair will work in the fields of photonics, analog and digital involving a total of 13 technology companies.
