imec USA
Imec’s teams in the United States offer local access to a range of world-class semiconductor, photonic, and digital technologies.
We live in an age of hyper-globalized markets. And the landscape for nano- and digital technology is certainly no exception. Nevertheless, our partners desire proximity, so we take every opportunity to tap into local expertise and talent.
That’s why imec has a solid presence in the United States.
Research activities
Imec’s research activities in the USA currently focus on these domains:
- nanotechnology for research and health monitoring in space
- cryogenic/superconducting computing
- novel architectures for artificial intelligence and machine learning
- exploration of system-technology co-optimization
These local teams work closely with imec colleagues around the world. That means that your partnership with imec USA immediately connects you with more than 35 years of experience by one of the world’s leading R&D centers in nanoelectronics and digital technologies. And to its more than 5,000 researchers, 12,000 m² cleanroom, and global ecosystem of universities and companies across the value chain.
Want to collaborate with imec? We’re keen to converse and collaborate with both organizations and government agencies who share our interest in nano- and digital technology.
