Want to see the future of global innovation?

The Next Silicon Valley caught a glimpse of it last week at a technology forum in Europe's
Flanders region in the northern part of Belgium, hosted by imec, the public-private, open innovation micro-and nanoelectronics research center, based in Leuven.  

Imec, which has helped shape the future of the semiconductor industry with its university and R&D partners for more than 25 years, is now helping Flanders replicate that successful R&D partnering model across other industry sectors, and across all of Flemish research institutes, making this region a prime destination for investment in innovative research and development, worldwide.

Imec's unique public-private based R&D charter is also driving that organizations innovation and tech development activities far downstream of its original CMOS semiconductor and EUV lithography research charter.
