From concept to market
POEMS, as a cutting-edge initiative under the Chips for Europe Initiative, directly addresses the critical needs outlined in Axis 1 of the National Semiconductor Strategy, targeting capacity building (work package 3: Access to Training and Skills) and key technological advancements (work package 4: Support of semiconductor solutions). This strategic alignment aims to catapult Portugal to the forefront of semiconductor innovation and production, specifically focusing on microelectronics and semiconductors, pivotal for elevating the existing industrial and technological capacities to meet the key global challenges. Focusing on the strategic areas of chip design, advanced packaging, and emerging semiconductor technologies, POEMS leverages the diverse expertise of its 17 consortium partners, including leading research and academic institutions, that bring specialised training resources and cutting-edge capabilities. The consortium as whole is perfectly aligned to overcome the technological challenges in these domains, propelling Portugal towards a leadership position in the European semiconductor industry.
