Semiconductor technologies and IC design are vital for Switzerland's science and industry, but global trends like the US, China, India or the EU intensifying domestic production could harm Switzerland's position. Additionally, exclusion from EU programmes limits access to crucial research infrastructure. To counter this, the SwissChips initiative, led by ETH Zurich with its designated head Prof. Christoph Studer, aims to strengthen Swiss research collaborations in IC design and microelectronics.
