Hellenic-SIA leads industry initiative 11/06/2006 5:01 AM ATHENS, Greece ? Determined to secure a competitive regional position in an increasingly global European electronics market, Greece has launched a national technology initiative focused on semiconductors, microelectronics and embedded systems. The Hellenic Technology Cluster Initiative (HTCI), the first of its kind for Greece, was initiated and inspired by the collective vision and bottom-up efforts of a core group of private companies comprising Greece's leading semiconductor industry entrepreneurs, fables design houses, research institutes and university microelectronics labs. The initiative has just entered its pilot phase. It has received ?9.5 million (about $12 million), for two years, with ?3.75million (about $4.9 million) from the Ministry of Development's funds, ?2.75 million (about $3.5 million) from the European Union's 3rd Community Support Framework (regional development funds) and ?3 million ($3.75 million) in private matching funds from companies participating in the cluster.
