Austrian Chips
Competence Center
The Austrian Chips Competence Center (AT-C³) is one of Europe’s first competence centers funded by the European Chips Act Program. It acts as a central contact point (“One-Stop-Shop”) for companies and research organizations along the Electronic & Software-Based Systems (ESBS) value chain, focusing on supporting SMEs and startups.
Benefit from our Services
AT-C³ covers the entire value chain of the semiconductor ecosystem.
These services, including consulting, evaluation, prototyping, and testing, are accessible to interested SMEs and startups, with specific provisions applicable to large enterprises.
The project is supported by the Chips JU and its members including top-up funding by the FFG. (Project No. Chips JU: 101217532, Project No. FFG: F099991717)
