BACKGROUND

Slovenian Competence Center on Chips and Semiconductor Technologies – CC Chip.si (KC Čip.si) is one of the 30 Chips competence centers in EU that have been lunched in the frame of the Chips for Europe initiative under umbrella of European Chips Act. The Competence center was set as one of the key actions in Slovenian national strategic plan for digital decade and in the forthcoming National program for chips and semiconductor technologies development until 2030.

As such CC Chip.si is the central hub for rreinforcing research, development, innovation and business in in the field of chips and semiconductor technologies in Slovenia and Europe.
