About EU Chips Design Platform

The EU Chips Design Platform (EuroCDP) is a flagship initiative under the EU Chips Act, designed to strengthen Europe’s capabilities in semiconductor design. Funded by the Chips Joint Undertaking and coordinated by Imec, the platform provides cloud-based access to advanced Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, design expertise, and prototyping services. By supporting startups, SMEs, and research institutions, EuroCDP empowers European innovators to design the next generation of microchips—securely, sustainably, and competitively. The platform plays a vital role in enhancing Europe’s digital sovereignty and fostering a resilient, value-driven semiconductor ecosystem.
