Initiative overview
Sweden participates in the European Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU), a key European initiative aimed at strengthening semiconductor research, development, and production. The initiative addresses the strategic need for Europe to secure a competitive position in the global semiconductor market, which is critical for digital technologies, AI hardware, and advanced computing applications.
Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency, supports Swedish research and industrial projects participating in the Chips JU. The primary objective is to enable Swedish actors—universities, research institutes, and companies—to contribute to joint European efforts in microelectronics, semiconductors, and chip technologies, while benefiting from access to cutting-edge research, funding, and collaborative networks.
Projects supported by Vinnova focus on R&D activities that drive innovation in semiconductor materials, chip design, manufacturing processes, and applications for AI, computing, and industrial technologies. Swedish teams work in collaboration with European partners, combining expertise and infrastructure to accelerate development and ensure that European semiconductor capabilities remain competitive.
