MEMS design software company, Coventor, has joined the Institute for System Level Integration (iSLI) software hub to provide access to its software toolset for selected start-ups and SME electronic design companies throughout the UK.
The start-ups and SMEs that meet the selection criteria will be granted a license to the company’s CoventorWare design environment for a six month period, potentially extendable on a case by case basis, under privileged terms. The software tools will be hosted at iSLI.
Tony Harker, CEO, iSLI, commented, “This announcement highlights iSLI’s continued support in assisting and sustaining a healthy UK electronics industry by encouraging and assisting the development of early stage companies. The addition of MEMS software suites to our expanding hub will significantly enhance our ability to provide access routes into an exciting growth area for micro and nano technology based systems.”
Christian Mahler, director of sales and operations Europe for Coventor, replied, “This is an additional step for Coventor in its dedication to supporting start-ups and SMEs in the UK for easier and stronger adoption of micro and nano technologies. This agreement comes as an addition to the long lasting relationship between iSLI and Coventor and will reinforce already ongoing joint initiatives favoring the adoption of MEMS technology.”
