About chipdesign.dk
Denmark has one of the most concentrated chip-design communities in Europe — and almost nowhere that maps it. chipdesign.dk exists to make that ecosystem visible: the companies, the people, and the stories behind decades of Danish silicon.
Why we built it
The Danish chip-design scene is deep but quiet. Talent is spread across hearing aids, audio, RF, networking, EDA and the universities that feed them, and much of the best work disappears into products and acquisitions without ever being told as a single story. We wanted one place where a company can find a partner, a policymaker can see the sector at a glance, and a student can discover that world-class chip design happens here at home.
chipdesign.dk is an independent, community-minded project — a living directory and a set of stories that we keep current. If something is missing, wrong, or out of date, we want to hear about it (see below).
The people behind it
Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen
Jørgen is a 30+ year analog and mixed-signal IC designer — with a background in hearing-aid radio systems and Class-D audio — and the founder of the consultancy IC Works. He is an active champion of open-source silicon (OpenLane, SkyWater 130 nm, Tiny Tapeout), and built and maintains chipdesign.dk to put the Danish ecosystem on the map.
Heidi Pedersen
Heidi shapes the words and the stories on chipdesign.dk — turning a dense, jargon-heavy field into something an investor, a policymaker or a curious student can actually read. The site's voice and its success stories are hers.
