Medical & Diagnostics
Medical aid, point-of-care, drug delivery, drug discovery and diagnostics technologies of unprecedented value in life sciences in terms of cost, throughput, automation and sensitivity.

Semicon Processing & Metrology
Equipment technologies for the fabrication, process control or inspection of (un) patterned wafers with standard CMOS integrated circuits aiming for unparalleled device performance or yield.

Multimedia
Multimedia is omnipresent in all aspects of our life nowadays and is the driver for strong growth in consumer products in our home (like HDTV) as well on the road (like Portable Media Players). This exploding market trend is fueling the industry to develop ever more functionally capable devices, with higher efficiency, integration and performance.  We are looking for innovative technology approaches in chips, modules and embedded software / signal processing to deliver the next generation of multimedia applications.

Communications
We are looking for propositions in communications,  novel concepts and components as well as system level solutions for both wired as well as wireless applications.  Defensible proprietary technology and innovative business models to compete are key ingredients for us to invest. Our main interest areas lie in mixed signal chip solutions, RF technologies and components for communication and sensor networks, solutions with significantly higher integration/performance/power efficiency benchmarks for existing and emerging markets.

Green Energy
Novel tools, materials, systems and device structures for power generation (photovoltaic and thermo-voltaic) energy scavenging and power control with emphasis on power density, efficiency and low cost.

Consumer Electronics
Chip scaling and new semiconductor innovations have been the key enablers that fueled the growth of the consumer electronics industry. We invest in a large area of applications, ranging from subsystems, devices and networks, facilitatating new functionality that makes our lives easier, safer and more enjoyable.
