SubsidieMeestersSolving the scaling challenge of the memory industry: high-speed, low-complexity and low-cost non-volatile ferroelectric memory (Fe-NVRAM) made in EU
FMC aims to revolutionize the European semiconductor market by developing innovative, energy-efficient memory solutions, reducing reliance on imports and creating local jobs.
Projectdetails
Industry Overview
The semiconductor industry is a $600B industry. The share of semiconductor memories is $150B. However, there are no memory manufacturers in Europe. Thus, the EU is missing out on a huge share of the semiconductor market!
Project Goals
FMC will change that by creating fundamentally new memories based on our disruptive material innovation. We aim to become a major memory player from Europe, which will:
- Reduce the EU's critical dependence on overseas suppliers
- Create jobs
- Make semiconductors greener
Product Features
Our memory is as fast and low cost as DRAM while providing non-volatile data storage.
Benefits
Our memory products will:
- Significantly reduce the energy consumption of data centers
- Enable instant-on capabilities
- Double the battery life of smartphones, PCs, and IoT devices
In addition, non-volatile working memory immediately protects against data loss due to power outages.
Vision
Our vision is to disrupt the memory industry and become the first EU memory company. We plan to set up production facilities in Europe to become the next EIC unicorn.
