About CITC
CITC was founded in 2019 with strategic partners TNO and Delft University of Technology. Located on Noviotech Campus Nijmegen (NL), CITC is perfectly situated in the heart of the Dutch semiconductor industry. Since 1 January 2026, CITC has been part of TNO.
Mission
We develop packaging and integration technology for chips to enable the increasing degree of intelligence to be built into products. In this way, we provide solutions to societal challenges.
We bring leading industrial innovations in integration and packaging technology to the market in a selected and growing number of application areas. We create an effective ecosystem in which companies, research and educational institutions work on bridging the gap between academics and industry.
We lead research programs and aim to create and share knowledge.
Vision
Within the world of semiconductors and photonics, the cost and performance of advanced devices are increasingly dominated by integration and chip packaging challenges. We believe that innovative solutions will be the key to developing new advanced devices.
We will provide access to innovation, infrastructure and education to enable solutions to the future challenges in energy, mobility, telecommunication, aerospace and defense.
