Euro Chips Design Platform Venture Development Programme

The Euro Chips Design Platform Venture Development Programme was launched and applications are open until 1 May 2026. This initiative is designed for fabless IC design start-ups looking to connect with the networks and resources needed to grow from chips to investable companies.

The programme is designed around two distinct tracks:

• EuroCDP Incubate
  For early-stage fabless start-ups looking for their first pre-seed funding (less than €1M in equity funding raised to date)

• EuroCDP Accelerate
  For start-ups at the seed stage or beyond, preparing for larger funding rounds and market entry

Gain access to a network of semiconductor professionals and venture capital opportunities. Stress-test your market case with experts before pitching to investors and receive support to prepare your grant for upcoming EuroCDP funding opportunities.
