Sweden’s semiconductor ecosystem
— gathered in one place
A national hub fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth
Semicon Sweden is a newly launched initiative uniting key players in semiconductor research, development, and innovation — across academia, startups, industry, and research institutes.
Why Semicon Sweden?
Semiconductors are the foundation of all modern technology – powering everything from your smartphone to the electric vehicles and renewable energy of the future. As global demand surges and supply chains evolve, Europe is making strategic investments to ensure its technological sovereignty.
While Sweden may not yet be a dominant force on the global semiconductor map, we possess world-class research and development, deep competence hubs, and a strong tradition of collaboration. What has been missing is a unified national voice. Now, through Semicon Sweden, we are uniting key players across academia, startups, industry, and research institutes to build a resilient, innovative, and globally connected ecosystem.
What we do
Semicon Sweden is created to connect and amplify Sweden’s efforts in semiconductor technology by:
Strategically driving the semiconductor agenda for Sweden. Coordinating national initiatives and promoting national and international collaboration.
Increasing national visibility for Swedish research, innovation, design and production capacity within the semiconductor sector. The goal is to strengthen and highlight Swedish areas of strength and innovations.
Building a strong community that unites industrial companies, startups, research institutes, academia, and organizations on a common platform. This occurs across different sectors, regions, and in collaboration with EU initiatives like Chips JU.
Facilitating knowledge sharing, attracting talent, and promoting joint development. This contributes to building capacity and knowledge across the entire semiconductor value chain.
Our goal is to make it easier for the world to discover what is happening in Sweden within semiconductor technology and to collaborate with us.
Powering the future of semiconductors
With a strategic, sustainable, and specialized approach, Sweden leverages its strong research resources to create a long-term and significant impact on the semiconductor industry in Europe and globally.
This approach aligns with the aim of strengthening Sweden’s position in Europe and establishing itself as a significant player in semiconductor technology and the electronics of the future. Our focus on strategic niches, combined with a strong emphasis on sustainability, positions Sweden as a unique and important actor in the global semiconductor value chain.
Our collective strength is our greatest asset. Together, we aim to:
- Build a dynamic and resilient semiconductor ecosystem where actors collaborate to strengthen Sweden's position and future competitiveness.
- Connect academia, startups, industry, and research institutes to build a robust infrastructure for development and innovation.
- Share knowledge and attract top talent to secure Sweden's competence supply within semiconductor technology for long-term growth and innovation.
- Accelerate the development of advanced technologies such as AI and quantum computing through collaboration within the semiconductor field.
- Strengthen the capacity for niche production of semiconductors in Sweden by developing a strategy for this.
- Support the green and digital transition by contributing to the development of the electronics of the future.
- Position Sweden as a reliable and leading international partner in research and innovation and strengthen Sweden's role in Europe.
