India, March 10 -- Here are some key chips pilot lines and European design platform across Europe.

PIXEurope is a new ambitious Pilot Line initiative that has been launched by the European Commission, through the Chips Joint Undertaking, to accelerate the development of photonic chip technology-an essential component in the future of high-speed computing, communications, and quantum information systems, among others.

The pilot line aims to work on the design and establish an optimized prototyping chain (that includes design, fabrication, integration, testing and reliability) in search of accelerating product development and scalable manufacturability.

During 10 years and with a budget of ~400M€, 20 partnering entities from 11 Eur...
