Launched by the European Commission in 2023, the European Chips Act has created an important framework to strengthen the EU’s semiconductor capabilities, covering from research and design to manufacturing, packaging, and skills.

Building on the foundations of this initial Chips Act, the Chips Act 2.0 was proposed this summer, with the aim of further enhancing the EU’s technological autonomy and industrial competitiveness, and improving supply-chain resilience. The focus is now expanding further, towards advanced semiconductor technologies, market uptake, supply-chain resilience and stronger cooperation across the ecosystem.

One message is clear: international cooperation is essential. Europe’s semiconductor competitiveness requires stronger connections across borders and along the entire value chain.

ICOS² is aligned with the Chips Act and its associated proposal, aiming to turn evidence-based market data, technological trends, cooperation models and disruptive case studies into actionable actions that will support the development of a more resilient, innovative and competitive European semiconductor ecosystem.
