Imec.ventures s’installe aux États-Unis
比利时研究机构 imec 的风险投资部门 imec.ventures 正式进军美国，在硅谷和美国东海岸设立办公室，目的是把欧洲半导体初创企业更紧密地连接到美国的投资生态与产业网络。
此举延续了 imec 在半导体领域的国际化布局。作为比利时的重要研究与创新中心，imec 近年来持续推动其业务和合作网络走向全球，而 imec.ventures 赴美落地，意味着其不仅要为欧洲初创公司寻找更多融资渠道，也要帮助它们更直接地接触美国半导体产业链中的关键资源、客户和合作伙伴。
从战略上看，这一扩张反映出欧洲半导体创业公司对跨大西洋资本与市场通道的需求正在上升。硅谷和美国东海岸分别代表了美国最活跃的科技创业与投资中心，imec.ventures 在这两个区域设点，显然是为了提升对接效率，强化欧洲创新项目在全球半导体竞争中的可见度与融资能力。
imec, the Belgian research and innovation center for semiconductors, is expanding the international reach of its venture arm by establishing imec.ventures in the United States. The move gives the fund a presence in both Silicon Valley and on the East Coast, with the goal of bringing European semiconductor start-ups closer to the American investment ecosystem and to key industry networks.
The expansion reflects imec’s broader push to globalize its semiconductor activities. By setting up in the U.S., imec.ventures aims to strengthen links between European deep-tech companies and the U.S. market, where access to capital, strategic partners and commercial opportunities is especially important for hardware and chip-related start-ups.
The article does not provide additional operational details, but the strategic intent is clear: imec wants its venture platform to act as a bridge between Europe’s semiconductor innovation base and the United States’ more mature investment environment.
