Radiation-hardened detectors, chips for the automotive industry, and a STREICHER vacuum chamber right at the booth. Czech companies will showcase a range of new semiconductor solutions at SEMICON Europa. For the third time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT) will support their participation through the Czech Republic’s official national pavilion, with Eduard Muřický, Senior Director of the MIT’s Industry and Consumer Protection Section, in attendance.
Germany is one of the most important trading partners for Czech exporters, and SEMICON Europa offers an opportunity to build partnerships with companies from around the world. The participation of more than 720 exhibitors from 34 countries confirms the event’s international significance and highlights the highly competitive environment in which Czech companies are making their mark. This year, the trade fair organizers expect 47,000 visitors from 66 countries. For companies focused on semiconductor technologies, the event provides an opportunity to strengthen relationships with existing customers and expand into additional international markets.
The Czech presentation will bring together established manufacturers, technology companies, and educational institutions that are translating research results into practical semiconductor applications. Their solutions reflect the industry’s shared priorities.
The Czech National Semiconductor Cluster (CNSC), represented in person by its President, Stanislav Černý, will showcase the Czech semiconductor value chain in connection with IPCEI AST projects and within the framework of the European Chips Act (EU Chips Act). Selected cluster members will present their work directly at the booth. CNSC will also unveil, for the first time, the Radar ChipsAct Pillar I—a tool that is unique in the EU in providing, in one place, an overview of the activities of all European Competence Centers, pilot lines, the Design Platform (EuroCDP), DG CONNECT, and the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU). With this initiative, the Czech Republic is bringing a practical tool to the European semiconductor ecosystem to support transparency in the implementation of Chips Act I and Chips Act 2.
The presentation will also provide potential investors with an opportunity to meet directly with the leadership of CzechInvest – part of CzechBusiness. The participation of CEO Jan Michal will create an opportunity for focused discussions on the conditions for developing the semiconductor sector and attracting investment to the Czech Republic. Particular emphasis will be placed on implementing the National Semiconductor Strategy and strengthening the Czech Republic’s position in the European and global semiconductor ecosystem.
The breadth of the Czech semiconductor industry will be represented by STREICHER, s.r.o., EP Rožnov, UJP PRAHA, a.s., SVCS, s.r.o., and onsemi, together with Faculty of Materials Science and Technology VSB – Technical University of Ostrava, Brno University of Technology, and the Czech Technical University in Prague, with the participation of the Czech Semiconductor Centre. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the latest innovations in the field.
The Czech National Semiconductor Cluster welcomes the support provided by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which enables Czech companies to develop international contacts and present domestic innovations to industry professionals from around the world. The accompanying program will include a networking event connecting Czech companies and institutions with partners from the Netherlands, the United States, and Asia.
