The project is being ledEricsson Antenna Technology Germany GmbH at its research and development site in Rosenheim. It is part of the Important Project of Common European Interest on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (IPCEI-ME/CT) initiative of the European Union. This initiative, prepared jointly14 EU member states, will provide up to €8.1 billion in public funding to support research and development projects in the entire ecosystem of microelectronics and communication technologies, from materials and tools to chip design and manufacturing processes. This collaborative effort will contribute to a stronger ecosystem and the advancement of semiconductor technologies in Europe.

The IPCEI-ME/CT projects aim to enable digital and environmentally friendly transformationcreating innovative microelectronics and communication solutions and developing energy-efficient and resource-saving electronic systems and manufacturing methods.

The Ericsson project aims to expand the current development of antenna microelectronicsinitiating early technology development of 6G antenna microelectronics in collaboration with European partners. The focus will be on early technology development of 6G Massive MIMO antennas, which will strengthen the European semiconductor ecosystem and contribute to the completion of a European value chain in this important area of European interest.

Freddie Södergren, Head of Technology and Strategy, Ericsson Networks, said, "Future 6G mobile networks must meet the ever-increasing demand for communication in the areas of human-to-human, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine in a highly energy-efficient manner. We are very excited about this opportunity, which allows us to pave the way for the development of world-leading, highly efficient Massive MIMO antennascompleting the value chain in microelectronics and communication technology. The Ericsson research site in Rosenheim plays an important role in building expertise in microelectronics for Massive MIMO antennas and the semiconductor industry in Germany."
