Who we are

We believe a strong high-tech ecosystem is built on knowledge sharing. Our mission is to connect professionals, strengthen the community and accelerate innovation by delivering in-depth reporting, expert analysis and exclusive interviews with the engineers and scientists driving progress.

Published by Techwatch, based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Bits&Chips has been the authoritative trade publication for Dutch and Belgian high-tech professionals for decades. Our editorial team covers the full spectrum of the regional innovation landscape – from ASML’s semiconductor lithography systems to university spinoffs developing the next generation of photonic and quantum technologies.

We’re editorially independent. Our journalism isn’t commissioned or controlled by advertisers or industry associations. Our mission is to supply the knowledge professionals need to make informed decisions and to make the European high-tech ecosystem healthier and more connected.
