Inova-Ria will be present at the University of Aveiro’s 5.0 Job Fair, with the aim of spreading the word about the Microelectronics Agenda to younger students.
By taking part in this event, they aim to make students aware of the choice of the Microelectronics sector as a future option and to disseminate the Microelectronics Agenda, the Consortium, its objectives and results.
The need to attract qualified talent to the Microelectronics sector is a priority for the various entities operating in the sector and for this reason it is essential to publicize and make students aware of the opportunities inherent in the sector.
Created as part of the mobilizing agendas of the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan, the Microelectronics Agenda aims 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.
The 25 new products, processes and services resulting from the Agenda aim to transform the microelectronics sector and contribute to its resilience, competitiveness and ecological sustainability, and will enable the Portuguese ecosystem to monitor and anticipate the sector’s needs.
The Microelectronics Agenda has a total eligible budget of €67,493,749.21, of which €30,048,411.91 is funded by the NextGenerationEU initiative. With the completion of the project scheduled for June 30, 2025, Portugal intends to establish itself as a leader in the global semiconductor sector, having already executed more than 60% of the budget and made significant progress in product development, sustainability and workforce training.
