During the 5 days of the conference, which runs from June 7 to 11, Minalogic will showcase the breadth and depth of skills of the electronic design automation (EDA) companies based in the Grenoble-Isère area of France. In addition, the cluster will promote the numerous existing synergies and mutually beneficial long-term partnerships established between the companies and the local R&D labs over the last 10 years, since the foundation of Minalogic in 2005.

Ranked as one of the 5 most inventive cities in the world (Forbes 2013), Grenoble is one of the premier locations for EDA across the globe. With industry leaders like ARM, Atrenta, Mentor Graphics and Synopsys, the region encompasses each link of the EDA value chain: from design to development to equipment manufacturing, as well as cleanroom environments and related services. Moreover, the companies and R&D labs in Grenoble benefit from the proximity to major manufacturers (STMicroelectronics, Soitec, e2V) and world's top universities.

With over 25,000 jobs and 1,200 graduates in the field of micro-nanotechnologies & electronics, the region benefits from a unique culture of collaboration between R&D, academia and industry.

By fostering collaboration and open innovation, the Minalogic cluster contributes to the realization of the great innovation potential of the French EDA companies.

Press Invitation: 

Monday June 8th, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm - W Hotel, 181 3rd St, San Francisco
