The Agenda’s booth welcomed companies, research centres and investment promotion agencies. Highlights of the day included visits from Guilherme Almeida, coordinator of POEMS, and Eoin O’Toole, representative of Amkor Technology Portugal.
On the third day of SEMICON Europa 2026 in Munich, the Microelectronics Agenda booth once again attracted the interest of companies, research centres and other international organisations from the semiconductor industry. The visits provided an opportunity to showcase the expertise, technological capabilities and solutions developed by Portuguese companies and institutions.
One of the highlights of the day was the visit of Guilherme Almeida, coordinator of POEMS – Portuguese Competence Centre in Semiconductors, and of Eoin O’Toole, representative of Amkor Technology Portugal S.A., the leading company of the Microelectronics Mobilising Agenda consortium, with a significant presence in the international semiconductor industry. Both visits underlined the importance of bringing together research, technology development and industry to strengthen Portugal’s position in the sector.
From integrated circuit design to strategic materials
International visitors to the booth included Fraunhofer IISB, which carries out research and development in semiconductors and power electronics, and Falkata Semi, which specialises in integrated circuit design. The Agenda also welcomed PhotonExport, which works in materials and equipment for semiconductor manufacturing; PLANOPTIK, which specialises in substrates and MEMS technologies; and TRADIUM, a supplier of raw materials and strategic metals.
The booth also welcomed companies and organisations working in electronic components, industrial systems and equipment, connectivity, software, automation, sensors, digital technologies, energy and engineering solutions.
Contacts for internationalisation and investment attraction
Visits from ICEX Spain Trade & Investment and Canarias ZEC Invest & Live, organisations dedicated to international promotion, investment attraction and the development of business opportunities, opened up prospects for closer ties between the technology and industrial ecosystems of Portugal and Spain.
Throughout the fair, the Microelectronics Agenda has been promoting internationally the Products, Processes and Services (PPS) developed by its partners. The showcase gives visibility to Portuguese expertise in research, innovation and technology development, as well as to the country’s capacity to industrialise and produce solutions for the microelectronics sector.
The Microelectronics Mobilising Agenda has an investment of €67,572,099.37 and is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) under the European Union’s NextGenerationEU initiative.
