INNOVATION WORKSHOP         June 29 – July 02

The Innovation Workshop is an event that sheds light on the development of new  technologies related to semiconductors in INFLPR and their adoption by national companies. The workshop is organized under the umbrella of the National Platform for Semiconductor Technologies Development (PNTS). INFLPR is also member of other consortia of strategic projects such as  Intelligent Growth, Digitalisation and  Financial Instruments (POCIDIF) and other technology oriented projects such as Projects for Transfer to Economic Beneficiaries (PTE) and Experimental Demonstrative Projects (PED) that intermediate the cooperation between research entities and innovative companies. Thus, the workshop will gather the PNTS industrial partners together with collaborators  from other consortia with the purpose to disseminate in a single event the technological transfer results of INFLPR and their partners. The event will allow for new collaboration opportunities between various entities and new possible technological solutions to existing problems in consortia.  The companies MGM, Plasma Jet, Micro Nano Tec, Inno Robotics, Rise, Epi System, Blue Space, Accent Pro, EMI Shielding, Rolix are part of the program, backed up by scientists in INFLPR that will describe the common work conducted with these companies.
