POLARIS-NGF program

POLARIS is an ambitious program aimed at advancing micro-electronic Radio Frequency (RF) systems, driving the development of future RF technologies that will be more powerful, miniaturized, and intelligent than ever before. These cutting-edge systems will play a pivotal role in applications such as radar, telecommunications and MRI scanners. The program is a collaboration between leading companies, universities, research institutes, and regional development agencies, united under a shared goal: achieving far greater results together than any could individually. Supported by the Nationaal Groeifonds, POLARIS has a budget of €168 million and an 8-year timeline, systematically advancing technologies from low to higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). The POLARIS Consortium includes the top-tier members Altum RF, Bronkhorst Flow Technology, NXP Semiconductors, Koninklijke Philips, Neways, Thales Nederland, Chip Integration Technology Center (CITC), TNO, TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, University of Twente, Oost NL, and the Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij. Together, we are shaping the future of RF systems innovation.
