From idea to impact – access AT-C3 resources
Discover how AT-C³ connects your projects with funding, expertise and partnerships to accelerate innovation in Austria’s chip ecosystem.
Ways how you can profit from us
We offer funding and support in accessing the European Design Platform and Pilot Lines, along with free services such as fully funded qualification programs starting from 2026 (skills development).
Funding
The funding is available for SMEs and start-ups. Up to 80% of costs will be covered through ESTP projects (Expert Service to Third Parties). The primary—though not all—of the supported technology areas include Materials and process Innovation, Chip Design and system Integration, and Semiconductor Manufacturing.
Pilot Lines
The EU Chips Act Pilot Lines aim to bridge the gap between innovation and full-scale semiconductor manufacturing, facilitating the development of advanced technologies and enhancing Europe’s competitiveness in the semiconductor industry.
Design Platform
The EU Chips Design Platform is being developed to become Europe’s gateway to chip innovation. Once launched, it will offer seamless access to design tools, IP, manufacturing and testing services, expert support, training, and funding — all in one place.
Skills & Training
AT-C3 aims to become the go-to hub for all skills-related needs in the semiconductors and related industries, shaping the future of education in electronics and microelectronics, and opening new collaboration opportunities between educational institutions and industry leaders.
Our skills and training program will be available from 2026.
