About ECDA

 

The European Chips Diversity Alliance is a groundbreaking collaboration between academia and industry focused on enhancing diversity and lowering participation barriers for underrepresented groups in microelectronics. These groups are considered the “missing talent” essential for the sustainable growth and competitiveness of Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem.

By fostering a more inclusive environment, ECDA aims to connect underutilized talent with opportunity, strengthening the foundation of Europe’s chip industry from the ground up.
