BUYUTECH TEKNOLOJI SANAYI VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI

Their core work

Buyutech is a Turkish SME specializing in advanced semiconductor and RF/microwave chip design, with a focus on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies for 5G, IoT, and automotive applications. They contribute to European supply chains for RFSOI components, ultra-low-power system-on-chip (SoC) design, and AI-ready microcontroller architectures. Their work spans from millimeter-wave connectivity hardware to embedded storage for edge AI, positioning them as a niche IC design house serving next-generation wireless and automotive markets.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Buyutech entered H2020 in 2020 with work on resilient architectures for drones and autonomous vehicles (ADACORSA), suggesting initial capability in embedded systems for safety-critical applications. By 2021, their focus shifted decisively toward semiconductor fundamentals — RFSOI chip design, ultra-low-power SoCs, and AI-ready microcontrollers. This evolution suggests a move from system-level integration toward deeper component-level specialization in advanced chip technologies.

Buyutech is deepening into ultra-low-power chip design for edge AI and 5G, aligning with Europe's push for semiconductor sovereignty — expect continued focus on SOI-based IC development.

How they like to work

Buyutech operates exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing specific technical components to larger initiatives. With 113 unique partners across 18 countries from just 3 projects, they work in large European consortia (averaging 37+ partners per project). This indicates they are a trusted specialist brought into major multi-partner efforts rather than a project initiator.

Despite only 3 projects, Buyutech has built an extensive network of 113 partners across 18 countries, reflecting participation in large-scale European semiconductor and electronics consortia. Their reach spans well beyond Turkey into the core European R&D ecosystem.

What sets them apart

Buyutech is one of few Turkish SMEs active in Europe's strategic semiconductor supply chain initiatives, particularly in RFSOI and ultra-low-power SoC design. Their combination of RF hardware expertise with edge-AI microcontroller work is uncommon for a small company, bridging connectivity and computation at the chip level. For consortium builders, they offer Turkish manufacturing ecosystem access alongside genuine IC design capability in a sector where Europe is actively seeking to reduce external dependencies.
