Welcome to Science park update

Linköping and Östergötland the new hub for Semiconductor Technology

From electric vehicles, renewable energy, and mobile phone manufacturing to robotics, radar systems, AI, and the Internet of Things – semiconductors are at the heart of all technological development. They are a common denominator in the green transition – and the race is on to secure resilient supply chains. What is the impact of geopolitics on the semiconductor industry – and how can we strengthen resilience and minimize volatility and risk?
Östergötland holds strong expertise in this field, with research leading to several spin-offs, while international R&D companies have chosen our region to establish themselves close to the talent at Linköping University. Together, we take a closer look at the semiconductor industry in Östergötland and discuss our strengths and challenges, opportunities and threats.
