The electronics industry at the heart of energy and digital transitions.
In a context of health crisis and increased international competitiveness, the electronics industry is mobilized across the entire chain of skills, from the manufacture of components, test and measurement equipment and electronic production to companies developing embedded systems and software.
The entire sector is powered upstream by a dense network of laboratories such as the IEMN, schools and universities in fields of expertise including the growth of materials for nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, the manufacture of components and their integration into complex circuits and systems. The electronics industry has been federated around a strategic committee that has set six priorities in order to enhance the excellence and development of its industries:
- Mastering key technologies
- Accelerate the electronics industry of the future
- Disseminate electronics as part of the digital transformation of companies
- Adapting skills and jobs to the needs of the industry
- Acting on a European scale and projecting internationally
- Develop Artificial Intelligence, a structuring project for the industry
Recently, in March 2021, it set itself three new major ambitions :
- Contributing to the ecological transition
- Acting for national sovereignty
- Strengthen cooperation between the electronics industry and downstream sectors
The electronics industry is at the heart of the French industrial dynamic, and represents an important vector for industrial competitiveness. It is one of the keystones of national strategic and economic sovereignty, ensuring our technological independence.
In the Hauts-de-France region, the issues discussed in a steering committee lead to the identification of the following application sectors : The Internet of Things - Embedded Intelligence - The Factory of the Future - Health - Transport and Mobility - Cyber Security.
Within this committee, current issues have led regional players to mobilize on :
- Study of the electronics sector in Hauts-de-France (value chain and attractivity) - support for universities, engineering schools and laboratories. Nearly 350 companies and 10,000 jobs have been identified in the region.
- the response to the Call for Expressions of Interest launched by the French General Administration for Companies (program to strengthen France and the European Union)
- the "European Digital Innovation Hub" - GreenpowerIT proposal on the digital and ecological transition of administrations and companies
- the Cybercampus Lille Hauts-de-France project (digital security issues)
- the Lyderic group (center of excellence in "extreme high frequency" communications security)
- Embedded Artificial Intelligence, electromobility, power electronics, etc.
In this stimulating context, academic laboratories such as the IEMN play a key role because they are at the heart of technological innovation and provide training through research for future engineers and doctors.
