Wiyo, one of the founders of the Semiconductor Industry Association in Spain

The partnership meets global semiconductor needs with innovations designed in Spain.

Four Spanish companies have founded the first Semiconductor Industrial Association of Spain, The group is composed of the companies Wiyo (Yocto Technologies) Imasenic, Kdpof and ICMálaga, according to a statement. The entity will be chaired by Wiyo’s CEO, Danny Moreno Levy.

The association aims to cover national and international needs, through innovations 100% designed in Spain.

With this union, the companies aim to achieve the necessary means to be able to promote the design and evolution of semiconductors at the level of the most recognised countries in this field.

At the same time, they seek to open up the possibility to other international companies related to the sector, including micro and nanochip factories, as well as to companies that are needed within the ecosystem to bet on Spain as a technological centre with disruptive options and capabilities.

“The Spanish labour market is not in line with the local capacity and need in the semiconductor area,” said Wiyo CEO Danny Moreno.
