Under the agreement, GF will join Cloudberry\u2019s newly launched venture fund as a limited partner and provide technical expertise and resources to help early-stage companies scale from concept to industrial production.<\/p>\n
The collaboration gives GF direct access to emerging European startups, including university spin-offs and seed-stage ventures, enabling closer alignment between GF\u2019s technology roadmap and next-generation applications. Areas of focus include autonomous vehicles, physical AI, Industry 4.0, and advanced communications.<\/p>\n
By investing in Cloudberry\u2019s fund, GF seeks to strengthen its role in shaping Europe\u2019s semiconductor future. The partnership will allow GF to engage early with breakthrough innovations, bridging the gap between academic research, prototype development, and high-volume manufacturing.<\/p>\n
GF is one of the world\u2019s leading semiconductor manufacturers and offers specialised platforms such as FDX, RF technologies, silicon photonics, and power devices for automotive, industrial, IoT, AI, and consumer markets. Startups supported through Cloudberry will gain structured access to GF\u2019s technology teams and design resources, helping reduce time-to-market and accelerate growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlobalFoundries\u2019 market-leading, highly specialised chip technologies are built on innovation and collaboration,\u201d said Manfred Horstmann, General Manager and Senior Vice President at GlobalFoundries Dresden. \u201cBy partnering with Cloudberry, we are accelerating and deepening Europe\u2019s semiconductor ecosystem, working closely with early-stage startups to gain insight into emerging innovations and deliver tailored solutions that help them scale quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Veera Pietik\u00e4inen, founding partner at Cloudberry, described the partnership as a long-term initiative to reinforce Europe\u2019s technological sovereignty.<\/p>\n
\u201cEurope has world-class talent and deep expertise in semiconductors and photonics, and companies like GF have already made significant investments to develop and scale that expertise. Building on this foundation, we are creating a specialised platform to help these companies grow even further,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Under the agreement, GF will join Cloudberry\u2019s newly launched venture fund as a limited partner and provide technical…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[1942,2001,2000,299,5187,129997,1197,29754,31167,3141],"class_list":{"0":"post-650293","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-communications","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-industry-4-0","14":"tag-investment","15":"tag-photonics","16":"tag-semiconductors","17":"tag-venture-capital"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115768747888628264","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
