STMicroelectronics celebrates R&D Programme with Partners

STMicroelectronics has celebrated the completion of five years of the Nano2017 Research and Development programme. This five-year strategic R&D programme was attended by key partners of STMicroelectronics, delegates attached to the Ministry of Industry, representatives from small- and medium-sized enterprises, digital economy as well as representatives from national, regional and local authorities and managers from ST.

Nano2017 gathers many players, including the leading French research laboratory CEA-LETI – a historical partner of the ST Crolles R&D center since its set-up in 1992, several University research teams, material and equipment manufacturers, vendors and CAD intellectual property specialists, system integrators, and other European stakeholders and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

The project is supported by French national, regional and local authorities as well as by the European community through the ENIAC Joint Technology Initiative (JTI). Funding for the programme is subject to approval by the European Commission. 

Nano2017 strengthens ST’s leadership in the key technologies: FD-SOI (low-power, high-performance processing), next-generation imaging (sensors and image signal processors) and next-generation embedded non-volatile memories.
