Stronger Together: Europe Unites for Open-Source EDA
summary
Europe commits roughly 40 million euros to open-source EDA, splitting into German seed funding and an EU call that requires national co‑funding; the first German round funds 15 projects (12 industrial partners) and a roadmap (15 authors, ~30 contributors) leads to three proposal streams—digital, analog/mixed‑signal, and productivity/interoperability/verification—with three joint proposals submitted for review and an expected ~20ish tape outs (4–5 digital) to validate PDKs, memory generators and open tool flows.
