Four of the leading European micro- and nanoelectronics regions are joining their research, development and production expertise to form the transnational, research-driven cluster "Silicon Europe - The Leaders for Energy Efficient ICT Electronics". The cluster partners from Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands are linked by a common goal: They aim to secure and expand Europe's position as the world's leading center for energy efficient micro- and nanoelectronics and information and communications technology (ICT). In order to reach this goal, Silicon Saxony (Dresden/Germany), DSP Valley (Belgium), Minalogic (Grenoble/France) and High Tech NL (Eindhoven/Netherlands) are cooperating in research, development and business expertise. Together they represent about 800 research institutes and companies, which account for more than 150,000 jobs; among the companies are global market leaders such as Philips, NXP, Globalfoundries, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Schneider Electric und Thales. This makes Silicon Europe one of the largest technology clusters of the world.
