• Facilitate cross\-sector and cross\-border collaborations within the European value chain, particularly across the Greater Region


• Ensure effective follow up and coordination of activities through structured relationship management

Fund

• Coordinate the Luxembourg Chips Competence Centre (LU\-CCC) in line with the EU Chips Act objectives and grant agreement obligations under the Digital Europe Programme


• Act as national coordinator and interface with European partners (Chips Joint Undertaking, European Chips Competence Centres network, EDIHs, pilot lines)


• Ensure coherence, quality and timely delivery of LU\-CCC activities (first entry point services, technology transfer, training, funding facilitation, ecosystem development)


• Contribute to EU level reporting, performance monitoring and KPIs, in collaboration with internal project management and finance teams


• Support the definition and continuous update of the national semiconductor roadmap in line with European priorities


• Increase industry engagement, particularly among startups and SMEs new to the semiconductor domain


• Drive conversion from awareness to concrete projects, partnerships and funding successes
