Information about chiptech talent (the Beethoven reinforcement plan) for UT employees.
The Dutch microchip sector is of strategic importance for the national economy and technological sovereignty, and plays an important role in various societal transitions. To maintain and strengthen this position in a competitive international field, a substantial and continuous growth of qualified talent is needed. The National Reinforcement Plan for Microchip Talent (hereinafter: the Reinforcement Plan) addresses this urgency with an ambitious programme aimed at structurally scaling up talent for the sector up to and including 2030. An initial government funding of €450 million has been made available for this purpose. Of this, €20.5 million will go to the University of Twente.
