Dal receives $1.4M to support semiconductor design hub

Dalhousie University has received $1.4M from the Government of Nova Scotia’s Community Economic Development Fund to establish the Microelectronics Innovation, Design and Integration (MINDI) Hub. The initiative will specialize in microelectronic systems integration for sectors such as agriculture, communications technologies, and naval defence. It will bring together academics, students, and members of industry to develop and build products with custom semiconductor designs. “I’m excited to explore all the ways our researchers will work closely with local companies, start-ups, and global leaders to drive advancements in key areas like internet-of-things, biomedical devices, and marine sensing technology,” said MINDI Program Director Jean-François Bousquet.
