Amidst supply chain tensions and a growing focus on technological sovereignty, microelectronics has become a strategic lever for European industry.
Driven by the European Chips Act and supported by France 2030, ASTEERICS is part of an ambitious initiative aimed at:
- Strengthening European competitiveness
- Securing critical industrial capabilities
- Accelerating deep-tech innovation
ASTEERICS stands for Attractivity, Services, and Training for Energy-Efficient Integrated Circuits and Systems.
It is the acronym for a program designed to make French and European microelectronics more visible, accessible, and high-performing.
It serves as the national gateway for:
✔ Understanding microelectronics technologies
✔ Structuring and securing your projects
✔ Accessing European resources and funding
An initiative designed to help companies transform innovation into competitive industrial solutions.
A network of partners across the entire country
Led by Minalogic—in partnership with CNFM, Captronic, and five other competitiveness clusters (AKTANTIS, Alpha-RLH, Images & Réseaux, Smart Power, and Systematic Paris-Region)—the French microelectronics competence center ASTEERICS serves as the national entry point for providing information, training, and support to companies developing energy-efficient integrated circuits.
Our funders
ASTEERICS, the French Chips Competence Center, is funded by the European Union under the Chips JU and supported by the French State through the “Compétences et Métiers d’Avenir” call for projects under the France 2030 investment plan, operated by Caisse des Dépôts [Banque des Territoires].
