Clustering in Microelectronics :for developing Regional Centers of Excellence

Clustering : a strong and intimate regional cooperationwith shared vision ,between Education , Research & Industry, supported by regional/national Public Authorities and Institutions, for creating regional Centers of Excellencewith Business development and Job creation.

Clustering :an enabler for Micro & NanoElectronics

• Micro and Nano-Electronics can survive and grow within the highly competitive Semiconductor environment only through Clusters , with:

- a permanent interaction between resources from Education, Research & Industry within joint projects=> innovation , business strategy, competitive positioning

- a regional proximity of the Co-Actors of the solution, an easy communication, a same culture, a shared vision=> speed , fast time-to-solution

- a sharing of means , a complementarity of know-how, a contribution of each local Actor to the full value chain => cost competitiveness

- a strong support from regional Authorities and Institutions=> growth , long-term investment, sustainable projects

� Most prosperous semiconductor industries in the worldhave grown around strong Regional Clusters with a significant public support :

�Asia : strong cluster policy in place since the beginnings of the industry inSingapore, Taiwan, China and Korea, with large dimension of scale andstrong investor incentives

�USA: after a tough competition with Japan and Korea, the semiconductorindustry has re-emerged thanks to several large state-financed clusters(Albany Nanotech, ISDA East Fishkill) and to federal programs from Dept of Defense, Dept of Energy and to support from Top Authorities.

�Europe : many small clusters, specialized ; only a few clusters with critical mass are able to compete at the international level; a Cluster Policy atthe European level is expected from KET initiative from European Commission

Cluster cooperation in Europeseveral dimensions

• Each Cluster is specific , with its own history, organization, strengths and competences

• A Cluster cooperation either within a Country, either within a Continentor at WW level shall be beneficial to both parties if the cooperation is driven by joint projects leveraging the respective strengths of the Partners

• In Europe, this Cluster cooperation has got several dimensions :

- One-to-one cooperation. ( Best example is Grenoble-Dresden case )

- Within European Projects ( Best example is “Silicon Europe” project with 5 clusters )

- At a larger scale, between all clusters, through the European Semiconductor Cluster Forum

Cluster Cooperation : Grenoble - Dresden

Conclusion

Perspective

Clustering



• mutual enrichment through exchanges, benchmarking, sharing of best practices

• launch joint initiatives that will benefit both clusters, mainly in selected areas (Education, Research, Industrial)

• improve the international image of the two clusters as leaders of the European semiconductor industry

• attract more attention and support from European Authorities, through a joint advocacy process

• increase the awareness of public opinion about the European semiconductor industry and the two clusters

• contribute to the strengthening of the whole European Semiconductor Industry around its top clusters

Dresden & Grenoble Cluster Cooperation: a Charter for both Clusters and for Europe

12


Dresden & Grenoble Cluster Cooperation :a mutual trust for Europe

13


• development of many personal relationships, by sector of activity, allowing easy and efficient one-to-one contacts and BtoB opportunities.

• mutual trust between the two communities, favorable to joint projects ( example : KET Pilot Line project )

• joint initiative from industrial actors : cross-visits, benchmarking exercise ( example : utilities consumption between Wafer Operations of both cities)

• joint advocacy of Semiconductor Industry by Authorities and Key Actors of both Clusters ( example KET , …)

• joint initiative of European Semiconductor Cluster Forum .

• rotation of several Conferences ( DATE, ISCDG,…) and events ( SEMICON Europa ) between the two Cities

• solid foundations for “Silicon Europe” project

European Semiconductor Cluster Forum:a great opportunity for networking Regional Clusters

European Semiconductor Cluster Forum :first achievements

19

• Initiated by Grenoble and Dresden Clusters in october 2011, with strong encouragement of SEMI Europe and European Commission.

• Running twice a year at a different cluster location (April : Cork - Ireland within MIDAS Cluster ; October : Grenoble - France )

• After 7 Forums conducted up to now, main benefit has been:

- the recording of the various clusters with contact references, - a mutual cross-knowledge about vision, membership, competences,activities...

( to be extended during the visit of each Cluster at a Forum session of two) - a sharing of information (events, BtoB meetings, project preparation, ...)- the mutual enrichment with the experience of “ Silicon Europe “ project- the set-up of “ Allée des Clusters “ at next SEMICON Europa 2014- the awareness that Clusters should be :

+more visible within the panorama of European Semiconductor Industry, +more advocated in front of European Authorities and Bodies+more organised for providing more benefit to their Members (SME‘s first)

�We got the vision :

“I want Europe to produce more chips in Europe than the United States produces domestically. It's a realistic goal if we channel our investments properly…We have to reinforce and connect our existing strongholds and develop new strengths. “

European Microelectronics Clusters:Part of EU Electronics Strategy

21


� Clusters are contributing to the implementationof the EU Strategy :

- Clusters are providing the resources, the expertize, theinnovation capabilities and the agility from the Regions, firstlythrough their SME’s

- Their cooperation will :

� reinforce cooperation along the supply chain

� network the Regions and exploit their complementarities

� create the critical mass of Investment at EU level and will build the overall European Ecosystem

� spread benefits of local investments across supply chain and across Europe

European Microelectronics Clusters:Actors for EU Electronics Strategy implementation

22


23

The European Semiconductor Clusters are sharing the following statements :

1. Clusters are the first spokesmen of the SME’s ( >80% of their Members )

2. Clusters are crucial for innovation, very often generated by SME’s

=>Clusters are at the heart of the Smart Specialization of the Regions

3. Competitiveness is global .

4. Only strong Clusters, with critical mass and international competitiveness, can sustain the overall European Semiconductor Ecosystem

=> No international leadership without a strong European cluster policy

Clustering



Conclusion

� Clusters are vital for European Semiconductor Indu stry, since providing at Regional level a significant competitive advantage

in agility, innovation capability and support to SME’s

� Clusters are on the way to organize their cooperatio n with “One Single Voice” around the European Semiconductor Cluster Forum

and beyond the “Silicon Europe” Project

� Clusters are expecting a strong European Incentive Cluster Policy for getting competiveness and developing inter-regional cooperation

EUROPEAN CLUSTERS ARE WORKING AND GETTING ORGANIZED FOR BECOMING RECOGNIZED AS THE REGIONAL PILLARSOF THE NEW EUROPEAN MICROELECTRONICS STRATEGY.
