KETs as drivers for the reindustrialisation of Europe – how to make it work for the SMEs? – the example of microelectronics –

Venue:
The Saxony Liaison Office Brussels, Avenue d’Auderghem 67, B-1040 Brussels

Date:

Micro- and nanoelectronics are essential for sustainable growth. As a Key Enabling Technology, micro- and nanoelectronics, including the use and production of semiconductors, are crucial for all goods and services which need intelligent control and communication. This applies to sectors as diverse as transportation (including automotive and aeronautics), health, security and energy.

Based on the findings from 24 months of project implementation, Silicon Europe partners would like to discuss with you the challenges and opportunities with regard to reindustrialisation of Europe that arise from micro- and nanoelectronics and its role as a key enabling technology.

The members of the European Parliament as well as representatives of industry, research institutes and regional authorities are warmly welcome to give an insight into their respective views.
