FC3: Flanders Chips Competence Center

The Flanders Chips Competence Centre (FC3), proposed under the European Chips Act, seeks to enhance the growth of Europe’s semiconductor sector and to ensure a robust supply chain. It fits within the Chips for Europe Initiative, complementing the Pilot Lines, the Design Platform and the Chips Fund. The FC3 will be the first point of contact in Flanders to facilitate access to these infrastructures, and to technical expertise and experiments in the fields of chip development and system integration. It also aims to be instrumental in alleviating the talent shortage in the broad semiconductor ecosystem.
