Clustering: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 Jobs 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:

- continuous interactions between resources from Education,

Research & Industry

=> innovation

- proximity of the Co-Actors of the solution, easy communication,

same culture, shared vision

=> speed, fast time-to-solution

- sharing of means, complementarity of know-how, contribution of each

local Actor to the full value chain

=> cost competitiveness

- strong support from regional authorities and institutions

=> growth, investment, projects

CLUSTER = CRITICAL MASS + SPEED + FOCUS = COMPETITIVENESS

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 Continent

or 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 6 clusters )

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

Semiconductor Cluster Forum and the Silicon Europe Alliance

Cluster cooperation in Europesome historical milestones

• The cluster cooperation in Europe is a long and endless journey :

� Years 2008/2009 : - cluster cooperation highlighted by SEMI Europe Advisory Board as a way to strengthen Semiconductor Industry in Europe

- June 2009 : Grenoble : first European Forum about Cluster A

� March 2010: Kick-off of Grenoble-Dresden Cluster cooperation B

� October 2011: first European Semiconductor Cluster Forum (ESCF) during SEMICON Europa at Dresden

� March 2012: kick-off of “ Silicon Europe “ project

� Years 2012-2015: . ESCF running twice a year . “Silicon Europe” working-out a Joint Action Plan

� August 2015: First “ European Semiconductor Cluster Position Paper “

� October 2015: kick-off of “Silicon Europe Alliance”

� 2016 : ????

Grenoble and Dresden: a success story


• 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 (ESCF) .

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

• solid foundations for “Silicon Europe” project

Dresden & Grenoble Cluster Cooperation : main added value

12


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

• launch joint initiatives that will benefit both clusters,

mainly in selected areas (Education, Research, Industrial)

• contribute to the strengthening of the whole European

Semiconductor Industry around its top clusters

• attract more attention and support from European Authorities,

through a joint lobbying process

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

• improve the international image of the two clusters

as pillars of the European semiconductor industry

European Semiconductor Cluster Forum:a great opportunity for networking Regions 16

• Initiated by Grenoble and Dresden Clusters in october 2011,

with strong encouragement of SEMI Europe and European Commission.

• Involving 11 European Semiconductor Clusters (see list),

• open to other ones

• Running twice a year :

• - spring : at a different cluster location ( Cork/MIDAS in 2014,

• Grenoble/MINALOGIC in 2015 )

• - autumn : at location of SEMICON Europa ( Dresden/Grenoble )

• Agenda of the Forum ( see attached ) mixing Information Sharing and

• Workshops

• Gouvernance : open, transparent, flexible, no hierarchy, everyone counts forone

European Semiconductor Cluster Forum :a great opportunity for achieving together

19

• After 9 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 a Cluster during the spring session )

- a sharing of information (events, BtoB meetings, project preparation, ...)

- cross-visits of Members during B-To B meetings

- the mutual enrichment with the experience of “ Silicon Europe “ project

- the set-up of “ Allée des Clusters “ at each SEMICON Europa

- the edition of a common “Cluster Position Paper“

- the foundations for building the “Silicon Europe Alliance“

- 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 )

European Semiconductor Cluster Forum :next steps

• To take benefit of past ESCF experience :

- open to any cluster dealing with Semiconductor in some way,

without any criteria : free access

- unformalism, openness, free speaking, one cluster = one voice

- mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual acceptance of differences

. To embed ESCF within “Silicon Europe Alliance“ context :

- to keep it open to potential Members of Silicon Europe Alliance

- to make it part of regular Silicon Europe Alliance meetings

- to complete it with Action Plan Review

....for becoming “ Silicon Europe Forum‘‘ as on now

Conclusion

Clustering



Conclusion

� Clusters are vital for our Industry,

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 cooperation with “One Single Voice”:

from the European Semiconductor Cluster Forum and its Position Paper

up to the new Silicon Europe Alliance and its Mission

� Clusters are expecting a strong European Incentive Cluster Policy

for getting competiveness and developing inter-regional cooperation

THE EUROPEAN MICROELECTRONICS STRATEGY WILL NOT SUCCEED

WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE CLUSTERS AS ITS REGIONAL PILLARS.
