This Friday, the government launched a call for strategic microelectronics and semiconductors, branded by PerTE Chip, in order to strengthen the ecosystem of computing centers in Spain and attract new players.
The Call for Chip Missions carried out by the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI), attached to the Ministry of Science and Innovation, and with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and the Special Commissioner PERTE. Chip.
Distributed R&D research that increases scientific capabilities in the field of microelectronics and semiconductors, which stimulate public-private cooperation, and improve the knowledge base and technology of Spanish companies.

Applications can be submitted from June 5 to July 17 at 12 pm, in the email of the headquarters of the CDTI, attached to the Ministry of Science and Innovation. These calls are assessed within the framework of the missions “Science and Innovation with the PERTE Chip” combined with the strategic goals of the Government and under the Public Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023.
