POEMS - Strategic Dialogue on Semiconductors in Portugal


on 14-10-2025

...

On 14 October 2025, Ciência Viva in Lisbon will host the Public Event of POEMS - the Portuguese Competence Centre in Semiconductors, a national initiative coordinated by INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory.

Bringing together 16 leading partners from academia, industry, and research, POEMS aims to position Portugal as a strategic contributor within the European semiconductor ecosystem. The event will convene national and European stakeholders to reflect on Portugal’s role in the European Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) and to discuss priorities for strengthening the country’s capabilities across the semiconductor value chain.

The programme will feature high-level roundtables on:
Talent development and skills retention;
Funding and investment attraction;
EU future directions and opportunities.

Flagship initiatives supported by Chips JU will also be showcased, including the APECS and NanoIC pilot lines, the EuroCDP - European Chips Design Platform, and the European Chips Skills Academy.

Designed as a platform for dialogue, the event will encourage stakeholders to exchange perspectives and ensure the continued alignment of POEMS with both national and European priorities for technological sovereignty and innovation.

Please, register by October 1st.
