An international quantum project has been launched at Kennispark that further strengthens Twente’s position as a high-tech region. In the NG QDMM project, a Danish-Dutch consortium is working on a new analysis technology for microchips, with support from Innovation Fund Denmark and a Eurostars grant.

The technology makes it possible to visualise electrical currents and defects in advanced chips without damaging them. This is of great importance for a sector in which chips are becoming increasingly complex and faults are becoming ever harder to detect. A key role is played by Eurofins MASER in Enschede, Europe’s largest independent specialist in semiconductor analysis, reliability testing and qualification.
CEO Thijs Kempers emphasises that Twente is not playing a supporting role in this: “We could certainly be a little less modest. From Twente, we provide expertise that is utilised worldwide. We do this in collaboration with education, knowledge institutions and initiatives such as ChipTech Twente, and this creates high-quality employment in the region.”
According to those involved, the project demonstrates how technological innovation, education and industry converge in Twente, and how young technical talent finds opportunities in a globally leading sector.
