What our members say

Dr. Stefan Müller

CTO

, Ferroelectric Memory GmbH

FMC encourages other startups to make use of the ASCENT+ program since it represents a great opportunity to utilize Europe’s semiconductor R&D infrastructure for demonstrating new technology and thereby can increase the chances for funding and achievement of technology milestones. In particular the fast application and approval process combined with the free-of-charge utilization of R&D facilities is incredibly advantageous for SMEs and Startups in the semiconductor space.

Alexey Dolbunov

COO

, POLYN Technology

Via ASCENT+, we gained access to industrial-scale equipment, as well as metrology and highly experienced researchers. This is an easy-to-apply and easy-to-report type of public support for international hi-tech companies to test technical ideas.

, SYSTEMA

Thanks to Silicon Saxony and the support provided by the EXCITE project, I was able to seize the opportunity to make new business contacts and engage in new business opportunities during the business mission to Graz.

André Bonnardot

CEO

, EasyGan

Thanks to the mission offered by the EXCITE project, I was able to discover the microelectronics ecosystem in the Dresden region. I particularly enjoyed the visits to semiconductor factories, which gave me a real sense of the high levels of automation and cleanliness required in this sector. This mission has also enabled me to establish contacts with academics and industrialists from all over Europe with a view to future collaboration.
