Chip Design is a crucial stage in semiconductor manufacturing giving a major role to electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) providers. Due to a high degree of specialisation and costs associated with chip design, another key player are the specialised design service companies, as well as original equipment manufacturers. As a result, the chip design market is influenced by several actors that shape its growth and development.
Focusing on the EU, competing with other international actors requires a coordinated and strategic approach.
