  Aledia

  Champagnier microLED fab, Grenoble Métropole

  Documented

  3 published dossiers, the newest dated 2026-09-04: inside our 540-day currency window.

  A venture-funded display start-up built a 300 mm fab in the metropole, which is rare enough to be evidence rather than an example. Readers need the truth about scale-up hiring: which epitaxy, process and yield skills survive a ramp and which do not.
