The China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance (referred to as the "Union") organized a delegation of the Chinese graphene industry to Belgium to participate in the European Graphene Spring Conference and conducted a one-day visit. During this trip to Europe, China and Belgium have achieved in-depth cooperation and strong alliance.
The Chinese delegation visited and inspected the Belec Microelectronics Center (Imec) and was warmly received by the staff. Several staff members of Imec Nano Applied Materials Engineering Department accompanied you to visit, and introduced the research status of graphene in the fields of new energy battery and optoelectronic communication in detail. The two sides reached friendly consultations on further cooperation and had preliminary intentions for cooperation. Imec said that they are very much looking forward to deep cooperation with relevant Chinese companies to transform Imec's semiconductor industry technology advantages into scientific and technological achievements, and the alliance provides a communication bridge for Imec to cooperate with Chinese companies.
What is Imec's presence in the global semiconductor industry? Imec is a world-class research center focusing on nano-microelectronics technology, with multiple R & D centers and offices around the world. At present, Imec focuses on the research of next-generation electronic technology. The technical research of new materials represented by graphene in the fields of optoelectronic communication and energy, its technology reserves are 3-10 years ahead of the industry, and it has carried out with many large enterprises in China deep cooperation. The most important point is that Imec's third largest R & D group is researchers from China.
At the end of the trip to Europe, the alliance sincerely invites the Imec Ministry of Commerce and the graphene team to attend the 2019 China International Graphene Innovation Conference in Xi'an, to show Chinese companies the latest technology and scientific research results, and to strengthen their relationship with Imec in Graphene Optoelectronics. In-depth cooperation in the fields of communications, microelectronics, and energy has provided a bridge for the cooperation of the Belt and Road Initiative for Chinese microelectronics companies, and helped China and Belgium to strengthen their alliances and innovate the development of semiconductor technology in China.
