Dongda led the formation! The first national technology innovation center in the EDA field was approved!
A few days ago, the National Integrated Circuit Design Automation Technology Innovation Center ("EDA National Innovation Center") led by Southeast University was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology and became the first national technology innovation center in the field of integrated circuit design in my country. The center is the first national technology innovation center in a field led by Nanjing City so far, and also the first national technology innovation center in a field led by a university in Jiangsu Province.
Integrated circuits are fundamental, leading and strategic industries that support national economy, social development and safeguard national security. In the integrated circuit industry chain, electronic design automation (EDA) is the most upstream and core basic technology. EDA provides automatic aided design capabilities for the entire industry of integrated circuit design, manufacturing and packaging, and integrates many cutting-edge technologies such as microelectronics, computational mathematics, graphics and artificial intelligence. As the carrier of IC design methodology, EDA is an important starting point for IC technology innovation.
The layout and construction of the EDA National Innovation Center is an important measure to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and to coordinate the deployment of education, science and technology, and talents. It is of great significance to drive the development strategy, establish and improve a new national system, support high-level technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and ensure that my country's integrated circuit industry moves from following to independent development.
EDA National Innovation Center takes Southeast University as the leading construction unit, rebuilt from the former National Application-Specific Integrated Circuit System Engineering Technology Research Center, and jointly builds and lands in the new area with Nanjing Jiangbei New Area. Domestic EDA leading enterprises, integrated circuit manufacturing and design and other upstream and downstream enterprises , Peking University, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology and other universities participated in the construction. The People's Government of Jiangsu Province and the Ministry of Education, as organizational units, received strong support from the People's Government of Nanjing.
The EDA National Innovation Center takes breakthroughs in the common, basic and cutting-edge key core technologies of the EDA industry chain, and realizes the industrialization of major research results as its core mission. It will give full play to the role of the market mechanism and the organizational role of the government in tackling key core technologies The country's superior scientific and technological forces will build a new national scientific and technological research system led by enterprises and deeply integrated with industry, academia and research, promote the deep integration of innovation chains, industry chains, capital chains, and talent chains, and create a technology birthplace, product demonstration site, and high-level EDA industry in my country. It is a gathering place for talents, supporting and leading the independent and controllable development of my country's EDA industry.
