OpenChip is making strides to develop an alternative chip for AI companies currently dependent on foreign chips, particularly from the US and China. With a new branch in Ghent focused on software development, OpenChip is expanding rapidly. Although its chip isn't ready yet, there's optimism associated with significant European investment, including support from an €8.1 billion European Commission initiative. OpenChip's ambitions highlight a commitment to becoming a global player amidst fierce competition from international developments.
OpenChip is on track to develop a chip by early 2027, aiming to establish a European alternative for AI companies currently reliant on foreign semiconductors.
We have the ambition to become a world player. The race is not over yet. The recent developments of the Chinese DeepSeek show that substantial catch-up is possible.
The investments in OpenChip are supported by the European Commission's IPCEI ME/CT initiative, which allocated €8.1 billion for microelectronics and tech projects.
In Ghent, we are already starting to develop AI software necessary for when the OpenChip chip arrives, signaling proactive development.
