Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership (ECSEL)
The ECSEL Joint Undertaking - the Public-Private Partnership for Electronic Components and Systems – funds Research, Development and Innovation projects for world-class expertise in these key enabling technologies, essential for Europe's competitive leadership in the era of the digital economy.
The ECSEL JU objectives are:
- to contribute to the development of a strong and globally competitive electronics components and systems industry in the European Union;
- to ensure the availability of electronic components and systems for key markets and for addressing societal challenges, keeping Europe at the forefront of technology development, bridging the gap between research and exploitation, strengthening innovation capabilities and creating economic and employment growth in the Union;
- to align strategies with Member States to attract private investment;
- to maintain and to grow semiconductor and smart system manufacturing capability in Europe;
- to secure and strengthen a commanding position in design and systems engineering;
- to provide access for all stakeholders to a world-class infrastructure for design and manufacturing
- to build a dynamic ecosystem involving Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), strengthening existing clusters and creating new clusters.
