The project

ASTEERICS* is the new French microelectronics skills center, a strategic initiative for the French and European electronics industry.

It is aimed at start-ups and SMEs that want to develop or integrate European semiconductors into their products to improve performance, energy efficiency, and competitiveness.

*ASTEERICS: Attractivity, Services, and Training for Energy Efficiency Reach on Integrated Circuits and Systems

Services

Relying in particular on three sovereign, energy-efficient technologies (FDSOI, GaN, SiC), ASTEERICS offers :

- awareness-raising and training sessions,

- Tailored technical and economic support to find the technology best suited to your growth objectives, build your project, and seek financing.

- Access to the best European expertise, tools, and resources: design tools, design houses, European pilot lines, foundries, and backend.

Our partners

ASTEERICS is funded by the European Union as part of the Chips JU and supported by the French government as part of the France 2030 Program's "Skills and Jobs of the Future" call for proposals, operated by Caisse des Dépôts [Banque des Territoires]. ASTEERICS is led by Minalogic, in partnership with CNFM, Captronic, and five competitiveness clusters: Aktantis, ALPHA-RLH, Images & Réseaux, Smart Power, and Systematic Paris-Region.

Launch of ASTEERICS

ASTEERICS will be launched on January 28, 2026 .

Discover the key challenges facing the electronics industry, practical solutions, and feedback to help you successfully transition to integrated circuit technologies such as ASIC, ASSP, FPGA, and PIC (Photonics Integrated Circuit). Be inspired by testimonials and roundtable discussions: a day to understand, network, and accelerate your projects.

The project

Officially launched in November 2022, Dihnamic is the EDIH (European Digital and Innovation Hub) for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This regional tool encourages and supports manufacturing companies with fewer than 3,000 employees in their digital and ecological transition in response to the adaptation needs of Industry 4.0. Based on a new generation of reliable Artificial Intelligence, with human-centered design and development, Dihnamic also uses a range of technologies revolving around digital twins, IOT and robotics.

Today, Dihnamic has supported nearly fifty companies of all types and in all sectors, and can boast of having helped raise funds of up to €700,000, as well as offering training and awareness-raising on AI, cybersecurity and other advanced digital technologies to over 800 people!

Our partners

Supported by ADI Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Dihnamic can also count on its regional partners, which include clusters (ALPHA-RLH, AEROSPACE VALLEY, EIT MANUFACTURING), technology transfer centers (CATIE, CEA TECH, CETIM, TECNALIA France), universities and training centers (BORDEAUX INP, ESTIA, CAPTRONIC), as well as research organizations (INRIA, ONERA).

Services

This consortium from the Neo-Aquitaine region offers more than twenty services focusing on five main areas:

- A customized diagnostic that gives companies an overview of their digital maturity as well as their ability to integrate and innovate by leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies;

- Exchanges and technological advice to identify opportunities for innovation, qualify the relevance of certain technologies and carry out experiments quickly and cost-effectively;

- Training to upgrade skills and adapt to the growing need to master and use these new technologies;

- Support and assistance in finding financing;

- Contacts with local, French and European players.

The project

Launched in October 2025, Green Mantis is the new Eurocluster project won by the cluster, which is once again taking on the role of coordinator in this European initiative.

Green Mantis aims to develop a comprehensive innovation support program designed to assist European SMEs in the manufacturing and energy sectors in designing and adopting new net-zero technologies. These technologies include improvements to electrical grids, energy efficiency in energy systems, and transformative industrial technologies for decarbonization.

Services

To address the challenges faced by these companies, Green Mantis will offer several services, including:

- Financial support of up to €100,000 for projects that promote the development and adoption of net-zero technologies in the manufacturing sector, enabling the implementation of more efficient and sustainable industrial processes.

- training courses on topics related to ecological transition,

- Two international missions to six target countries: Canada, the United States, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, and India.

Our partners

The project is based on a partnership between six European clusters: ALPHA-RLH (France), ITECAM (Spain), PRODUTECH (Portugal), Inteligentna Energija (Croatia), ConfindustriaEmilia Area Centro (Italy) and SOLARTYS (Spain).

The project

PhotonHub Europe is a European project that aims to establish a one-stop shop for photonics innovation across the European Union. The project brings together 53 partners offering the best photonics technologies, facilities, expertise and experience from across Europe.

Services

The PhotonHub one-stop shop thus offers a comprehensive range of business support services to accelerate the adoption and deployment of photonics. PhotonHub provides European companies, particularly SMEs and "non-photonics" mid-sized companies, with services to help them become early adopters and users of photonics:

- training and development opportunities at PhotonHub's demonstration and experience centers across Europe, backed up by digital e-learning tools;

- test-before-investing" innovation support capabilities to engage with companies in highly collaborative innovation projects aimed at accelerating TRL, from prototyping (TRL3-4) to manufacturing (TRL7-8), complemented by targeted business and intellectual property advice;

- help in finding investment, through investment preparation coaching and contacts with investors, organized in collaboration with the main regional and European forums.

PhotonHub has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Grant Agreement n*101016665, in Public Private Partnership with Photonics21.‍
