Who we are

Micro.electronics,
for a better future.

The Microelectronics Agenda was created as part of the mobilising agendas of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). It seeks to strengthen the production and innovation capacity of the national semiconductor and microelectronics industry. It involves a group of 17 partners and seeks to help position Portugal at the forefront of the semiconductor management, production, distribution and recycling market, capable of supplying Europe and other countries worldwide.

Aligned with the EU’s semiconductor initiatives: ICPEI ME (Important Project of Common European Interest on MicroElectronics) and the EU Chips Act, it is an initiative that aims to help unlock the potential of the semiconductor industry and contribute to bringing added value to European society.
