The European Chips Diversity Alliance (ECDA) brings together academia and industry to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion across Europe’s microelectronics sector.
We focus on reducing barriers to participation and unlocking the potential of underrepresented talent – the missing talent essential for the sector’s growth and competitiveness.
“ECDA will be a vital link in eliminating biases and promoting a skilled, inclusive workforce that reflects the world we live in.”
