Ensuring European ECS Value Chain Sovereignty through Shaping the Future of ECS for Automotive Applications

Objective

ShapeFuture will drive innovation in fundamental Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) that are essential for robust, powerful, fail-operational and integrated perception, cognition, AI-enabled decision making, resilient automation and computing, as well as communications, for highly automated vehicles.

Its overarching vision is to bring ECS Innovation at the Heart of Europe's Mobility Transformation, thereby elevating Sovereignty by Perfecting Programmable ECS Solutions for Intelligent, Safe, Connected, and Highly Automated Vehicles.

The project will result in the following main tangible outcomes:
• Safety, security and reliability of in-vehicle systems to levels appropriate for mass-market deployment.
• Availability and supply of leading-edge ECS for the European automotive supply chain and for OEMs to be at the forefront of technology developments in the 2030s.
• Increased Accuracy and Robustness of ECS for perception with smaller form factors and lower power consumption.
• ECS attributed with cognition features and improved human-Machine Interface (HMI).
• ECS with cognitive processing and decision-making capabilities.
• ECS for resilient automation and communications.
• Increased technology acceptance that will also lead to business sovereignty safeguard.

15 demonstrators and 2 impact studies will showcase the project’s achievements and their capability to deliver innovations and secure future application advances in core markets for European society – Mobility, Green Deal, Digital Society, Safety and Industry.

The project innovations will leverage the expertise of world-renowned industrial (5 OEMs, 24 Tier-1, Tier-2 and technology providers) and 12 research partners along the complete automotive and semiconductor value chains, providing Europe with a competitive edge in a growing market.

Importantly, ShapeFuture will contribute to ensuring European ECS Sovereignty by shaping the future of ECS in mobility.
