The Open-Source FPGA Foundation offers a set of free and open-source tools enabling fast prototyping for FPGA chips and automated EDA support, through open standard collaboration.
We aim to set FPGA companies free from engineering-labor intensive process in producing FPGA chips, give full freedom for software developers when customize FPGA software stacks and provide an open collaboration for FPGA end-users to implement high-quality designs.
The Open-Source FPGA Foundation will bring together companies, universities and individuals working on or interested in advancing open-source FPGA capabilities, establish the necessary cooperation channels, promote outreach and education, and coordinate joint efforts to enable easier collaboration around an open source FPGA ecosystem.
Following the Open-Source FPGA Foundation means you will have a front-row seat to see how collaborating in an open source community can propel the use of FPGA technology faster than the market has ever seen.
If you want to CONTRIBUTE to our Mission, JOIN the Open-Source FPGA Foundation and a Working Group. 5 years from now, you will be able to look back and see that you were part of making history.

TBT Group is a US based manufacturer of specialized ceramic components that are used in many different electrical applications in the defense and commercial industries. TBT focuses on piezoelectric and dielectric ceramics that can be found in industries such as automotive, industrial, defense, electronics, telecom (5G & IoT) and medical devices.
The three markets we focus on are:
Piezoelectric materials:
The piezoelectric ceramic is an energy harvesting material which can create electricity when subjected to a mechanical stress. The material is found in sonars, transducers, and fuses in ordnances. The piezo material sends and receives a signal through air, water, or a solid material.
Dielectric materials:
Dielectric ceramics are electrical insulators that are the building blocks of electrical circuits. These are used in electronics including capacitors, frequency filters and RF antennas.
Sensors:
TBT manufactures the piezo material that integrates into sensors. Sensors make it possible to convert forces, pressures, and accelerations into electrical signals. TBT is able to customize the material to the specific end use.

GSA is Where Leaders Meet to establish an efficient, profitable and sustainable semiconductor and high technology global ecosystem encompassing semiconductors, software, solutions, systems and services. It is a leading industry organization that provides a unique neutral platform for collaboration, where global executives interface and innovate with peers, partners and customers to accelerate industry growth and maximize return on invested and intellectual capital.
The GSA has an impressive global footprint representing over 30 countries and 300 corporate members. The global membership ranges from the most exciting emerging companies to industry stalwarts and technology leaders. Members of the GSA represent 75% of the $400B+ semiconductor industry and continue to grow.
The GSA offers a unique, efficient and strategic platform for thought-leadership across a broad array of semiconductor technologies and markets through curated regional and global executive and technical forums, leadership networking events, workshops and working groups. These gatherings allow our members to demonstrate thought leadership, engage in thought exchange with peers or simply remain up to date on topical issues for the industry. In addition, they provide opportunities to share best practices and gain precious visibility opportunities. GSA members also have access to a repository of data and information including financial reports and resources, company data, surveys and technology and market reports. Lastly, the critical importance and global economic impact of the semiconductor industry on our society is often underappreciated by the general public. For this reason, the GSA launched a Semis Matter initiative and website (www.semismatter.com) which houses the most comprehensive study of the semiconductor industry and promotes its $7 trillion contribution to the global economy and its value to humanity.
