Sweden-India in silicon carbide and semiconductors
towards
Research funding in Horizon Europe consortia and grow new industrial partnerships
Meetup May 26, 2026 10AM (CEST)
This now starts with India and Sweden, but will expand to any country and Europe. At the meetup there will be discussion on how interested researchers can contribute to emerging technologies from wafer scale silicon carbide using PVT and CS-PVT. There are already activities on how India and Sweden can collaborate on materials growth and characterization. Research experts from other areas than silicon carbide are invited to contribute to explore new research. Such expertise is very valuable for new developments.
The timing is suitable.
The recent release (May 17, 2026) of The Joint Action Plan 2026-2030 for the implementation of the India-Sweden Strategic Partnership includes developing cooperation and promoting technology transfer in cleantech, strengthened focus on emerging technologies, and pursuing green energy solutions jointly. This is an opportunity to act early to position.
Also, EU and India have launch talks (Feb 6, 2026) on association to Horizon Europe. When India becomes associated, Indian researchers and institutions will be able to receive funding directly from Horizon Europe and lead projects. “Exploring India’s association to Horizon Europe is about connecting talent, ambition and trust, and building solutions together at global scale.” – Ekaterina Zaharieva, European Commissioner for Startups, Research, and Innovation.
How to get involved?
