Summary sheet
The project relates to the research, development and innovation (RDI) activities and the investment programme of the promoter focused on the development of the technologies and products for the next generation of semiconductor devices in the years 2017-2018.
The project relates to the RDI activities performed by the promoter in its locations in France, Italy and Malta and focused on the development of the technologies and products for the next generation of semiconductor devices, particularly in the Smart Driving and Internet of Things domains. Apart from the research and development (R&D) activities, the project also includes R&D capital expenditure (Capex) as well as some investments in pilot lines, lines capacity increase and clean room expansions.
Semiconductor RDI and manufacturing facilities are not specifically covered by Annexes I & II of the Directive 2011/92/EU as amended, and therefore not subject to mandatory environmental impact assessment (EIA). The proposed investments will take place mainly inside buildings at RDI and manufacturing facilities already being used for similar activities and are not expected to have a significant environmental impact on the surroundings.
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions.
