Archer Materials Limited announced that the company has joined the Academia-Industry Collaboration Program (AIC Program) and will have dedicated workspaces at the Switzerland Innovation Park West École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (SIP West EPFL). The company's establishment in Switzerland is of strategic importance to the company's international expansion. Archer's 12CQ chip technology development is currently underpinned by 10 patents in Europe, including in Switzerland, with the technology co-invented at EPFL.

Archer has existing, long-term collaborations with EPFL. The AIC Program will allow the establishment of a company business unit on site or nearby, the opportunity to explore business development and partnerships with start-ups and multinational companies, the acquisition of talent in the deep tech and semiconductor industry in Europe, and strengthening links with collaboration partners, including EPFL.
