HUB en – BMH

HUb

The Basque Microelectronics Hub (BMH) is an initiative promoted by the Association of Knowledge Industries and Applied Technology (GAIA) with the support and commitment of the Basque Government and SPRI to promote a microelectronics industry in the Basque Country.

The BMH, as such, fulfils informative and administrative functions of interest to all GAIA associates and other third party collaborators, representing a space open to participation in it.

Our value proposal:
