On 17 July, the Chips Joint Undertaking announced a strategic collaboration with the European Union and the Republic of Korea to advance semiconductor research, development, and innovation. This partnership aims to foster technological advancements, enhance supply chain resilience, and secure a leading position in the global semiconductor industry.

The selected projects, which are co-funded by the Chips JU under Horizon Europe and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), include:

  1. ENERGIZE – Developing brain-like circuits using two-dimensional materials to create energy-efficient AI systems. 
  2. NEHIL – Creating a laser-based radar system (LIDAR) that integrates various technologies for precise distance measurement.
  3. HAETAE – Developing photonic brain-like chips that efficiently process AI tasks and can adapt to new functions.
  4. ViTFOX – Enhancing visual data processing AI by using ferroelectric materials to save power and improve performance.
