At imec, we shape the future.

How? By enabling nano- and digital technology innovation with a significant impact on the quality of life. With our partners from companies, governments and academia. And supported by the three pillars of our R&D:

• a unique infrastructure that includes a 2.5-billion-euro 300mm semiconductor pilot line
  
• more than 5,500 expert scientists from over 96 countries
• an ecosystem of more than 600 world-leading industry partners and a global academic network

Founded in 1984, imec quickly made its name as the leading research hub for advanced CMOS scaling.

We will continue to shape the roadmap for the semiconductor industry for years to come. On top of that, we leverage this deep-tech knowhow. And we combine it with software and system knowledge to build up an exceptional portfolio of advanced technologies.

The combination of these technologies opens the door to smart, sustainable solutions. These span domains such as healthcare, mobility, Industry 5.0, clean energy and agrifood.
