Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, Japan, established the Innovation Center Eindhoven at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The High Tech Campus is a hub for advanced semiconductor-related technologies, and is one of the largest open innovation centers in Europe, where more than 12,500 employees and over 300 companies gather to develop technologies and products. The Center will conduct work on technology development through open innovation with local academia and deep tech companies.
Open innovation on the High Tech Campus offers a one-stop environment for everything from principle validation to value validation for developing technologies, enabling new technologies to be brought to market and accelerating their time to market. This will create innovative digitalized assets that combine new technologies tailored to customer needs with advanced AI, including physical AI, and enable innovation on a global scale with a focus on the semiconductor field through HMAX Industry.
Currently, data traffic volume is increasing due to the rapid spread of AI, and intense capital investment is being made into data centers and base stations. Furthermore, the semiconductor market is expected to develop and grow in future in line with increasing demand for semiconductor devices for automotive applications, such as in electric vehicles and autonomous driving, amid continued implementation of physical AI that functions in the real world. As the market continues to grow, continuous technological innovation is essential, and as semiconductors become smaller, more layered, and more complex, solutions need to be found to complex challenges in order to respond to these technological innovations.
Hitachi High-Tech is advancing research and development by strengthening collaboration with external partners such as academia and industry. As part of that, research on electron beam technology has been conducted at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, and other partners. While conducting various studies on the implementation of research results into products, Hitachi High-Tech decided to establish the Center in order to quickly provide value to customers by accelerating Lab to Fab.
