Infineon Technologies Romania and CO. Societate in Comandita Simpla

Their core work

Infineon Technologies Romania is the Romanian subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG, one of Europe's largest semiconductor manufacturers. Within H2020, they contribute electronic components expertise to automotive and industrial digitization projects — specifically in areas like fail-safe automotive electronics, battery management systems, and Industry 4.0 development processes. Their work focuses on making electronic components and systems safer, more reliable, and production-ready for European manufacturing, particularly in the automotive electrification and connected vehicle domains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their early H2020 work (2015–2018) centered on automotive electronics for affordable electrified cars and fail-safe autonomous driving systems — essentially making vehicles smarter and safer through semiconductor solutions. From 2018 onward, their focus broadened in two directions: industrial digitization and Industry 4.0 processes (iDev40), and deeper into battery systems with emphasis on safety and sustainability (LIBERTY). The shift suggests a move from component-level automotive work toward system-level integration in both mobility and manufacturing.

Infineon Romania is moving from pure automotive semiconductor contributions toward battery management and industrial IoT — areas where their parent company is expanding its product portfolio globally.

How they like to work

Infineon Romania participates exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator — consistent with a subsidiary role where the parent company or academic leads drive project design. They work in large consortia (125 unique partners across just 4 projects), which means they typically join major ECSEL-JU or large-scale Innovation Actions with 20-40+ partners. This makes them a reliable industrial contributor rather than a project initiator.

With 125 unique consortium partners across 16 countries from only 4 projects, they operate in very large European consortia — likely through ECSEL-JU and similar large-scale electronics partnerships. Their network spans broadly across Europe's semiconductor and automotive R&D ecosystem.

What sets them apart

As the Romanian arm of a global semiconductor giant, they bring industrial-grade chip and sensor expertise into EU research consortia with direct access to Infineon's manufacturing and product pipelines. This means project results have a realistic path to commercialization through Infineon's product lines — a strong argument for any consortium needing an industrial end-user or component supplier. For Romanian and Eastern European consortia, they offer a rare link to a Tier-1 European semiconductor manufacturer.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LIBERTY
  Their largest funded project (EUR 412,125), targeting lightweight battery systems with a focus on BMS and Li-ion safety — a strategic growth area for Infineon's power semiconductor business.
• AutoDrive
  Major ECSEL-JU project on fail-safe electronics for automated driving, involving a very large consortium — represents Infineon's core automotive semiconductor competence.
• iDev40
  Bridges Infineon's semiconductor expertise into Industry 4.0 and digitization of manufacturing processes, showing versatility beyond automotive.
