Strategic Expansion Imec is actively expanding its European footprint with a new semiconductor research center in Málaga, Spain, signaling opportunities for regionally focused collaborations, facilities-related partnerships, and potential joint programs with local universities and industry players.

AI and Energy Recent focus on energy-efficient AI hardware and memory technologies positions imec as a partner for customers seeking low-power AI accelerators, high-density memory solutions, and ferroelectric memory research to meet growing AI workload demands.

Collaboration Network With a broad, global partner network including ASML, TSMC, and other leaders, imec offers access to top-tier semiconductor ecosystems, enabling co-development, IP licensing opportunities, and pre-competitive research programs for customers seeking accelerated innovation.

Advanced Processability Imec's work on scalable 300mm processes and 2D transistor integration provides a compelling value proposition for foundries and semiconductor companies aiming to prototype and scale next-generation devices and materials in collaboration with a world-class research hub.

Public-Private IP As a non-profit research center with pre-competitive IP licensing, imec offers risk-mitigated access to cutting-edge technologies and collaborative IP, enabling customers to de-risk early-stage innovation and accelerate time-to-market.
