The European Union has launched the NanoIC pilot line in Leuven, with a €700 million investment aimed at advancing semiconductor technology. This facility will support research and development for AI, autonomous systems, and 6G communications.

It is designed as an open access model for companies and researchers to prototype and test components. The initiative is part of the broader €2.5 billion Chips Act, which seeks to enhance Europe's semiconductor capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
