What Infineon and the ECA will accomplish together

Together, Infineon and the European Champions Alliance want to promote European technologies and connect the broad innovation network of Infineon and the ECA. Infineon would like to make its innovation activities better known in ECA’s target markets and cooperate with great European start-ups and scale-ups, especially areas like smart industry, automotive, security, energy efficiency and other sectors.  

As one of the first corporate members of the ECA, Infineon’s innovation team also contributes strongly to the strategic orientation of association. 

“As a global technology company with strong European roots, the promotion of the European technology landscape is particularly important to us. We share the goals and values of the European Champions Alliance and look forward to developing exciting projects together in many areas. The rapidly growing network of the European Champions Alliance seems ideal for this and we are happy to actively support the European technology scene.” Lamin Ben-Hamdane, Head of Start-Up Cooperation
