NXP Semiconductors today announced that it has secured a one billion euros loan from the\u00a0European Investment Bank\u00a0(EIB) to advance the company\u2019s RDI investments across its broad portfolio of semiconductor solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The financing will support NXP\u2019s research and development efforts in several EU Member States, implemented in its facilities in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Romania for the period up to 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is fundamental for Europe to remain an indispensable player in the value chain of critical technologies and build RDI and production capacity in those supply chains,\u201d stated EIB vice president Robert de Groot. \u201cLuckily, the EU boasts some of the world\u2019s most advanced chip makers. As semiconductors are key to the digital and green transitions, their importance will only grow, and the EIB proudly supports such strategic technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NXP research and development teams across Europe are focused on creating the next generation of automotive processors, advanced automotive radar solutions, improved energy and driver systems, in-vehicle networking, and secure car access, in addition to other equally important intelligent edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), secure edge identification, Near Field Communication (NFC) wallets for mobile phones and smart wearables, and other devices which improve quality of life and further sustainability efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNXP is committed to strengthening Europe\u2019s semiconductor ecosystem, and this significant loan from EIB aims at bolstering NXP\u2019s efforts in research and development across many of our EU sites,\u201d said Maarten Dirkzwager, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at NXP. \u201cNXP\u2019s collaboration with the EIB underscores our commitment to ensuring European technology leadership and sustainability in the global semiconductor market. This loan complements the various existing instruments supporting our industry, such as the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) and other initiatives currently being set up by the European Commission and the Member States. It is also consistent with our investment in the ESMC joint venture fab currently being built in Germany, which will address Europe\u2019s automotive and industrial chip requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investment will contribute to building a state-of-the-art European chip ecosystem, in-line with the EU Chips Act, the Dutch Semicon Valley and the National Technology Strategy of the Netherlands\u2019 Government, whose scope is to strengthen the semiconductor market in the EU to ensure a secure and competitive supply of chips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
