Slovak Semiconductor Centre
Creating future of advancing chip technology in Slovakia
SKCCC is envisioned to be a central point for Slovak companies and start-ups, providing access to cutting-edge technologies, research expertise, and specialized services in semiconductors and advanced chip packaging.
Our Mission
Together with our partners, we want to build a strong and competitive ecosystem for the Slovak semiconductor industry, with a special focus on advanced chip packaging technologies. We are part of the European Union’s initiative to support the growth of the chip sector in Europe, strengthening its technological sovereignty and creating new opportunities for innovation, research, and industrial collaboration.
We are shaping the future of semiconductors in Slovakia.
European chip
competence centers
These centres are set to play a fundamental role in strengthening Europe’s semiconductor innovation ecosystem. They will provide businesses—especially SMEs and start-ups—with essential resources to develop semiconductor solutions, including support, training, and access to large infrastructure facilities established under the Chips Act, such as pilot lines and the design platform.
Reflecting and reinforcing regional and national strengths, each centre will specialise in one or more key technology areas. This targeted approach secures long-term investment in localised expertise, ensuring a sustained focus on innovation and growth.
Complementing this effort, a European network connecting the Competence Centres will be established. This network will serve as a resource hub, allowing centres to better support Europe’s semiconductor industry while addressing the unique needs of each regional ecosystem.
