EU Chips Act: A Comprehensive Overview

---

Siemens Cre8Ventures is not a venture fund.

It is a shift-left collaborative venturing vehicle designed to turn early ideas into credible, industry-backed outcomes faster.

At its core is a Digital Twin Marketplace.

This marketplace brings together semiconductor, quantum, photonics, and deep-tech ecosystems and allows innovators, corporates, academics, investors, and policymakers to collaborate transparently—before silicon, before scale, and before capital risk is locked in.

Cre8Ventures is underscored by multi-physics digital twins spanning silicon, software, and the physical world.

These twins are used to evidence claims early, reduce technical and commercial uncertainty, and align all parties around the same data and assumptions.

In doing so, we aim to create transparency and first mover opportunities, strong pre-money valuations, new routes to market, opportunities to mitigate first silicon funding rounds, provide de-risked capital-efficient investor deal flows and GDP contribution through new knowledge-based economies.

The Siemens Cre8Ventures collaboration follows a  three-step venturing programme:

• Proof-of-Technology – Help with ideation through our Siemens Cre8Ventures Higher Education Program (alongside Arm), access to Siemens EDA and partner tools, market-fit exploration, and non-dilutive EU Chips Act funding.

• Proof-of-Concept – Collaboration with the innovator’s natural customer to evidence pre-silicon power and performance claims through a subsystem Silicon Twin.

• Proof-of-Value (PoV) – Opportunities for start-ups, their customers, and the customer’s customer to collaborate across full-system multi-physics digital twins.

The result is simple: faster learning, lower risk, and earlier alignment between technology, markets, and policy—without forcing innovation to behave like traditional venture capital.
