The DECIDE project aims to create a virtual design platform to democratize access to advanced semiconductor technologies across Europe. This platform will support the innovation and competitiveness of European startups, SMEs, and research institutions. By integrating Design Enablement Teams (DETs), the platform will offer customized support, access to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, intellectual property (IP), and pilot line technologies, helping Europe to deploy next-generation semiconductor technologies rapidly. DECIDE addresses the decline in Europe's global semiconductor market share, particularly in the fabless sector. The project aims to reverse this trend by expanding the number of European fabless companies. The unified platform will lower barriers to entry for SMEs and startups by reducing the costs associated with EDA tools and IP, enabling these companies to innovate and grow. DECIDE will provide early access to advanced technologies, fostering Europe's leadership in the global semiconductor space. In addition to economic growth, DECIDE contributes to environmental sustainability by promoting the design of energy-efficient chips, aligning with the European Green Deal. It will support the development of eco-friendly technologies while also addressing Europe's reliance on non-European technologies. By building a robust semiconductor design ecosystem, DECIDE ensures that Europe can compete globally and retain technological sovereignty. The project's core objectives include supporting startups and SMEs, democratizing access to EDA tools, and fostering a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem. By offering access to advanced technologies, training, and a marketplace for IP, DECIDE will boost innovation and strengthen Europe's semiconductor industry. The platform will also help reduce financial and technical barriers, allowing more companies to develop and bring new technologies to market, ultimately contributing to Europe's digital and environmental goal
