GlobalFoundries and Qualinx completed the first end-to-end semiconductor manufacturing flow based entirely in Europe.

The Dresden facility now designs, manufactures, and delivers security-critical chips without leaving the continent. This capability serves high-stakes sectors including aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure.

Launch customer Qualinx utilized GF’s FDX technology for a sophisticated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) System-on-a-Chip (SoC).

The development establishes a resilient and independent semiconductor supply chain for the European Union's most sensitive applications.
