"Research, technology, and innovation are key drivers for economic growth and sustainable development. The SCIENCE PARK at SEMICON Europa will be our platform to demonstrate the potential of R&D in Europe and will provide opportunities for collaborative efforts between our researchers and the international community." (Prof. Heiner Ryssel, Fraunhofer IISB)

"The semiconductor industry is under continued cost pressure and moving away from Europe to the far East, thus endangering in the long term the R&D capacity still existing in Europe to support production. To ensure the large public European efforts in R&D in direct interest of the semiconductor industry are helping the industry remain competitive and viable, communication between researchers and the industry must be intensified to align the strategic priorities. The Science Park at SEMICON Europe is an excellent opportunity for exchange and collaboration between the research community and industry to help strengthen Europe’s position in the global Semiconductor industry."
