The NanoIC pilot line represents an unseen investment in the development of beyond-2nm technologies in Europe. The interest towards this project from the worldwide semiconductor community is therefore immense.
At the 2025 edition of ITF World, imec’s flagship event, industry executives, entrepreneurs and researchers grabbed the opportunity to get deeper acquainted with the NanoIC project. An impressive lineup of experts guided them through the activities of the NanoIC project and detailed how these can be leveraged it to accelerate advanced chip innovation.
