Micro-nanotechnologies & Electronics
| Electronics and micro-nanotechnologies | 21,700 jobs |
| Public research | 3,000 jobs |
| Higher education | 1,200 degrees/year |
The reputation of the micro and nanotechnology business is based on the power of research upstream in nanoscience and in basic technology, its application and industrial R&D. Famous companies - Atmel, Freescale, NXP Semiconductors, Radiall, Schneider electric, STMicroelectronics, Soitec, Thales, ... are side by side with renowned laboratories such as CEA-Léti and the best university.
In year 2002, Fresscale (ex-Motorola) joined the R&D of STMIcroelectronics and Philips at Crolles II for the most important industriel investment since ten years (b3.4 € betwen 2002 and 2007). More info
The innovating pole Minatec was born in Grenoble in year 2001. Launched by CEA-Léti and Grenoble-INP, Minatec is the leading centre in Europe and one of the top centres worldwide specializing in micro and nanotechnology. Minatec centre objectives: to maintain and develop the international competitivity of the Grenoble area.
