Collaborate to Innovate: Building Bridges between the Netherlands and Japan

From June 19th to 23rd, BOM joined the RVO innovation mission semicon in Japan. Organized by the innovation attaché network, the mission offered a packed and highly interesting program. Alongside visits and discussions with companies like Hitachi, Resonac, NTT, and Mitsubishi, we had the opportunity to explore various research institutions and government bodies.

In the coming months, BOM together with multiple stakeholders continues to define how to further build the relationship with Japan that should lead to a more formalized and concrete collaboration in the field of semiconductors, including specific areas of focus within the industry and joint participation in trade fairs, among other initiatives.

The delegation was truly diverse, representing a comprehensive cross-section of the semicon value chain, complemented by research, academic, and government organizations.
