The Spanish Semiconductor Industry Association (AESEMI) has joined the industry association AENEAS, which promotes R&D&I in electronic components and systems to strengthen European competitiveness.
With this incorporation, AESEMI advances in its goal of achieving national and international presence to demonstrate the value and importance of the sector, and gain recognition in Spain and Europe. In addition, this collaboration will help to give visibility to all the entities that form part of the semiconductor technology ecosystem in Spain. In the words of Álvaro Pineda, President of AESEMI, “joining AENEAS represents a great opportunity for AESEMI members to participate in one of the largest industrial forums for innovation and collaboration between SMEs, large companies, RTOs and universities in Europe, helping to incorporate semiconductors throughout the value chain of European industry”.
AENEAS standing for Association for European NanoElectronics ActivitieS, is an industrial Association, established in 2006, providing unparalleled networking opportunities, policy influence & supported access to funding to all types RD&I participants in the field of micro and nanoelectronics enabled components and systems. The object of the Association is to promote Research, Development and Innovation in order to strengthen the competitiveness of European industry across the electronics components and systems (ECS) value chain. For this purpose, AENEAS is open to all European key players in the value chain, such as large industry, Small and Medium Enterprises, research institutes, academia, and associations.
AESEMI was founded in 2021 and represents the main Spanish companies dedicated to microelectronic design and semiconductor manufacturing. Thanks to this platform, not only the growth of this industry is boosted, but also the option for large companies to have solutions to cover the commitments of decarbonisation and digitalisation, which are a common factor for all industries, already at a global level.
