Advancing Semiconductor Innovation with Pilot Lines

As part of the Chips for Europe Initiative, the Swedish Chips Competence Centre (SCCC) supports the development of an advanced semiconductor infrastructure, ensuring that cutting-edge technologies reach higher levels of maturity and are rapidly adopted by industry.

These state-of-the-art pilot lines will provide Swedish and European companies with access to world-class facilities for testing, experimenting, and validating new semiconductor designs. This includes integrating breakthrough technologies such as AI, quantum computing, neuromorphic chips, and energy-efficient solutions.

By enabling immediate feedback to designers, the pilot lines will help refine and optimise semiconductor models before they reach full-scale manufacturing, accelerating innovation and reducing development time.

SCCC ensures that these pilot lines are accessible to startups, SMEs, and industry players on open and non-discriminatory terms, strengthening Sweden’s role in the European semiconductor ecosystem. These efforts will not only drive local innovation but also position Europe as a key global partner in semiconductor technology, fostering international collaboration.
