Greek chips at the heart of innovation
Launched on 1 June 2025, the Hellenic Chips Competence Centre (HCCC) is Greece’s first semiconductor hub, established through a partnership between HETiA, the Ministry of Development, and the European Chips Joint Undertaking. With €7 million in funding, HCCC aims to strengthen Europe’s technological autonomy by supporting innovation, research, start-ups, and training in chip design and testing. As part of the EU’s “Chips for Europe” initiative, HCCC connects Greek academic and industrial sectors, focusing on specialized applications. It positions Greece as a digital technology hub in Southeastern Europe. HCCC’s initial actions will be presented at the HETiA Forum in December 2025.
