Connect semicon ecosystems in Europe – from East Netherlands

Think East Netherlands launches campaign ‘Make ChipTech Work’ towards EuropeIn the East Netherlands region, everything comes together to truly make chip technology work. From chip design and production to testing, packaging, and integration into smart systems. We hold excellent positions in the global value chain. And it is precisely there that the strength of our region lies: combining strong links in these value chains to create new applications and products.Our region is home to internationally operating companies such as NXP, LioniX International, QuiX Quantum, PHIX, Bruco IC, and Nexperia. With partners like New Origin, CITC, and the OnePlanet Research Center, we are working on technological solutions for a sustainable future – with impact on health, mobility, energy, and digitalization.Gelderland and Overijssel boast powerful ecosystems where companies, educational institutions, governments, and research centers collaborate – connected to national and European partners. This region provides space for innovation and scaling up.East Netherlands is actively involved in the new ChipNL Competence Centre, part of the EU Chips Act, which offers companies access to technological expertise and new pilot lines. This accelerates innovation and helps build a resilient and strategically strong European chip sector.We invest in talent, smart technology, and strong value chains. In doing so, we help move Europe forward.<h2>Campaign launch: Make ChipTech Work</h2>Think East Netherlands is launching the campaign ‘Make ChipTech Work’. In the run-up to the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC) in October 2025, we will showcase through stories, interviews, and highlights how the East Netherlands region contributes to the future of the European semiconductor sector.The highlight of the campaign will be the networking dinner on October 14, 2025, in Brussels during the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC). Under the theme ‘Connecting regional semiconductor ecosystems’, we will bring together regions, companies, knowledge institutions, and policymakers.In the East Netherlands region, we make chip technology work – for the Netherlands and for Europe.
