Conference
From Research to Scale: Building Europe’s Semiconductor Venture Pipeline
Join us at our ASCEND Conference panel to learn about the challenges and possibilities in scaling chips ventures in Europe
Europe has invested heavily in flagship R&I programs like the Graphene Flagship, successfully seeding semiconductor- and materials-based spinouts. However, scaling these companies, and companies like them, into global leaders, remains a critical European challenge.
This panel brings together founders, capital providers, and EU actors to ask: What do high-potential semiconductor ventures emerging from EU R&I actually need to scale? What role should flagship program design, capital markets, and strategic policy instruments play in enabling their growth? And how do we ensure that chips companies born in the EU - also stay and grow in the EU?
