About NanoXplore

A French fabless semiconductor company developing FPGA, SoC FPGA, ASIC and dedicated electronic solutions for demanding applications.

OUR STORY

From FPGA expertise to European semiconductor technology.

NanoXplore is a fabless company based in France, founded in 2010 by three seasoned veterans of the semiconductor industry. With extensive expertise in the design, testing, and debugging of FPGAs, the founders were among the pioneers in custom FPGA-based emulation systems and IP macros for embedded FPGA cores. In 2013, Edouard LEPAPE join the company as the CEO.

Since 2014, in partnership with ESA, CNES and the European Commission, we are proud to offer innovative solutions in FPGA and SoC FPGA technologies, with the added capability to develop ASICs and dedicated solutions.
