CITC and TNO together at Lifeport Semicon Event
January 27, 2026 – Today’s first edition of Lifeport Regio Arnhem Nijmegen Semicon Event also marked the first time CITC presented itself as part of TNO. We are officially joining forces to strengthen the Netherlands’ position in advanced chip packaging. Additionally, the Provincie Gelderland announced renewed investments in CITC for the period 2026-2030.
Shared mission
Together, we share a mission for the future of chip integration and packaging technology. During the event the three pieces of the ‘packaging puzzle’ fell into place: CITC as a center of expertise for chip packaging, TNO, which enables us to intensify and expand our research efforts, and the province, as a grant provider, contributing to the further development of Lifeport in Gelderland into a strong, future-proof semiconductor ecosystem.
