ABSTRACT
A growing gap in microelectronics technology in
Europe mainly versus US- and Japanese practise, a rising awareness that
leadership in electronics is decisive for progress and wellbeing of
industrialized nations, and semiconductor innovations being the
key-enabler for almost all technical advances of industry, has led in
the middle of the 80's to the first initiatives of private, public
partnership (PPP). For the future, these PPPs will continue
demonstrating their effectiveness in securing R&D and advanced
manufacturing in Europe, if reciprocal qualitative and quantitative
commitments are taken by Industry and European Public Authorities.
