Analog Devices for IPCEI FANFARE
FANFARE is a project by Analog Devices which addresses the technological performance, sustainability and societal challenges of the next decade.
It forms part of a new Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) in the area of microelectronics and communication technologies (IPCEI ME/CT) and under the IPCEI, the European Commission has approved an investment by the Irish State in Analog Devices Inc.’s €630 million Project FANFARE, which will result in 600 new jobs in Limerick over the next five years, as well as an additional 520 jobs during the construction phases.
The investment is enabling the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Wafer Fabrication facility where the company will accelerate advances in cutting-edge applications, including digital biology, electric vehicles, and robotics. It is expected to triple ADI’s European wafer production capacity and aligns with the company’s goal of doubling its internal manufacturing capacity to enhance the resiliency of its global supply chain and better serve customer needs.
The project will support research, development and innovation at the Limerick facility and increase supply chain resilience in Europe by strengthening Ireland’s and Europe’s capacity and capability in increasingly vital frontier technologies.
