Looking for Partners for a Chips JU or Horizon Europe Project?
Many startups and SMEs in the semiconductor sector have strong expertise and promising technologies, but international research and innovation networks may still be unfamiliar to them. Participating in EU-funded projects becomes significantly easier when you identify the right partners already during the project preparation phase.
While many leading European consortia are built around existing collaboration networks, several online partner search platforms help new organisations find collaboration opportunities in the fields of semiconductors, electronics, and digital technologies. These tools can help you showcase your company’s expertise, find international partners, and identify new EU funding opportunities.
