From the hundreds of semiconductors and IC Design companies around Europe, many of them tend to be located together or very near.
As I was searching in Europe for an analog IC design job after university, I’ve noticed that most of the companies are concentrated in specific regions, forming the so-called semiconductor hubs or company clusters. Most of them are nowadays formed by fabless companies.
In this post, I will list the European hubs I found, enumerating some of the most companies I discover in that area:
