The facility focuses on sophisticated semiconductor processes and signal processing chips, essential for powering digital transformations in industries such as:

  • Healthcare: Enabling breakthroughs in DNA programming, vaccine production, and digital healthcare.

  • Automotive: Advancing the development of EVs and autonomous vehicles for smarter, greener

  • Mobility: Industrial Automation: Supporting sustainable, efficient Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 transitions, critical for modernizing global supply chains.

The FANFARE project, as part of the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI ME/CT), is pivotal in bolstering Ireland and Europe’s semiconductor supply chain resilience.

Through FANFARE, ADI aligns with the EU Chips Act, contributing to a resilient European semiconductor ecosystem. Ireland’s first IPCEI ME/CT application, the project also promotes collaborative research to strengthen Europe’s technological independence.

Analog Devices - FANFARE Project

Analog Device’s FANFARE project underscores ADI’s commitment to advancing semiconductor technology and addressing critical global challenges.

At the heart of FANFARE is ADI’s €630 million investment in a next-generation semiconductor R&D and manufacturing facility in Limerick. This state-of-the-art facility serves as a global hub for developing advanced signal processing technologies that transform critical applications in digital biology, electric vehicles (EVs), robotics, and beyond, addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
