Releasing the potential: IPCEI
• Important Projects of Common European Interest
• 6.5B euro ‘Microelectronics for Europe’
• Waiver of State Aid Rules for investment in industry/capital
• Compound Semiconductors = Key Enabling Technology
• Submit proposal mid June 2016 @ 400M Euro for CS
• Success with IPCEI releases potential structural funding for foundry/cluster
