Technical Advisory Services

Accelerate Your Path from Lab-to-Fab

A strategic partnership between the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) and Draper

For microelectronics startups, the gap between a validated prototype and commercial fabrication is where many great technologies stall. Don’t navigate it alone. ​

​Through our partnership with Draper, NEMC provides member startups and small businesses with access to world-class engineering expertise. We help you de-risk your technology development, optimize your designs and fast-track your path to production at member-exclusive rates.​

Don't let avoidable technical hurdles delay your commercialization. These services help you: ​

  • Identify design constraints early before they become costly manufacturing roadblocks. ​
  • Ensure "foundry-ready" designs that align with real-world fabrication processes. ​
  • Streamline your roadmap for Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) integration and packaging.
