Czech-Taiwan Collaboration - The Bridge to Sustainable and Resilient Semiconductor Ecosystem
On December 3rd this year, we are pleased to welcome partners from Taiwan and the Czech Republic for the ACDRC and SCRC projects.
CNSC Annual Meeting 2026: ACDRC Presents Its Results to the Czech Semiconductor Ecosystem
The programme also provided an opportunity for ACDRC to present its results to representatives of the Czech semiconductor industry and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The meeting took place at Thermo Fisher Scientific Brno, which also hosted tours of its electron-microscope production facilities. Approximately one third of the world’s electron microscopes are produced in Brno.
ACDRC presents its results to CNSC members
Representing the Advanced Chip Design and Research Center (ACDRC) were Director Jiří Háze, Prof. Jiří Jakovenko and Prof. Tomáš Pitner.
All three also serve as members of the CNSC Board. Their involvement creates a direct connection between ACDRC and the Czech semiconductor ecosystem, including its key industrial and academic partners.
During the meeting, ACDRC’s results and activities were presented to CNSC members, particularly representatives of semiconductor companies, as well as to Radan Kubant from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic.
The meeting therefore provided an opportunity to present ACDRC’s work directly to the professional community and institutions involved in the development of the Czech semiconductor sector.
CNSC connects the semiconductor value chain
CNSC brings together key competences across the semiconductor value chain – from design and IP through materials, manufacturing and equipment to testing and applications.
The ecosystem also covers enabling areas including:
- quantum technologies,
- artificial intelligence,
- the energy grid,
- automotive,
- semiconductor education.
Key areas of collaboration include the National Semiconductor Strategy, IPCEI AST and the Pillar I and Chips Act 2.0 position.
CNSC strengthens its board
CNSC also expanded its board with two new positions:
- Jiří Jakovenko (CTU Prague) – VP Academic R&D,
- Prof. Zdeněk Peroutka (University of West Bohemia / RICE) – VP Power Electronics.
The next steps for CNSC include IPCEI AST, with a 31 October deadline, SEMICON Europa, Enlit Vienna, and further expansion of its cooperation network with European ecosystems and ENCCCs.
The Annual Meeting provided an important opportunity not only to discuss the future direction of CNSC, but also for ACDRC to present its results directly to key partners within the Czech semiconductor ecosystem.
