A new opportunity is emerging for Europe’s fabless semiconductor community. The EuroCDP (European Chips Design Platform) is launching its Venture Building Programmes, supported by a dedicated webinar taking place on 8 April 2026 at 15:00 CET (online).
Supporting the next generation of fabless innovators
The EuroCDP Venture Building Programmes are designed to accelerate the development of European fabless startups, providing structured support across the entire chip design journey. The European Chips Design Platform aims to offer streamlined access to essential resources, including EDA tools, IP, prototyping services, training, and expert guidance, enabling startups and SMEs to move from concept to market more efficiently. In addition, the platform integrates incubation and acceleration programmes to help companies reduce technical and financial barriers, while connecting them to a broader European innovation ecosystem.
