Today at #COMPET @consilium.europa.eu, ESIA calls for making #ChipsAct2 deliver on 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 and 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗿, 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 (esp. for #FOAK). For a #predictable, #proinvestment environment that turns Europe’s engineering strengths into commercial #leadership.

#ChipsAct2 must drive cross-border #coordination, shared #infrastructure, and joint #education. 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗥&𝗗 is intensive and thrives on synergy between research hubs and the full industrial ecosystem. www.eusemiconductors.eu/sites/defaul...

Europe leads in sensors, embedded systems & industrial automation – all key to #EdgeAI. These smart devices enable real-time, secure, energy-efficient decisions. #ChipsAct2 must scale this strength into global #semiconductor leadership in physical #AI. @hennavirkkunen.bsky.social

Europe is an indispensable partner in the global #semiconductor ecosystem. #ChipsAct2 must balance openness with resilience – securing raw materials, IP & equipment while boosting EU capabilities. #Sovereignty comes from confident interdependence. @kajakallas.bsky.social @lars-loekke.bsky.social

For #ChipsAct2, a dedicated EU semiconductor budget means faster, smarter, centralised funding decisions. Let’s aim for #speed, #scale & #flexibility, with bold funding and broad eligibility: www.eusemiconductors.eu/sites/defaul...

Europe’s edge in #semiconductors won’t come from national efforts alone – we need a strong, 𝗘𝗨 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁. ESIA backs anchoring this in the European Competitiveness Fund (#ECF), as proposed by Draghi, to boost #IPCEIs and #FOAK projects. @itre.europarl.europa.eu

ESIA joins industry leaders in calling for swift adoption of the #OmnibusI package: 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆, a 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 & 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 are key to impactful sustainability rules in the #CS3D. We’re ready to implement & engage for effective EU legislation.

Europe’s edge in #semiconductors spans materials, equipment, design & mission-critical chips. #ChipsAct2 must boost innovation across the full value chain, turning hardware excellence into global tech leadership. @danishmfa.bsky.social @globsec.bsky.social @thinktankeuropa.bsky.social

Europe’s AI strength lies at the 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 – in devices, not data centres. Smart #sensors, #microcontrollers, and #secure chips give Europe a real shot at turning hardware strengths for #EdgeAI into global AI #leadership. @hennavirkkunen.bsky.social

Here’s 𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗔’s position paper on ‘Europe’s path towards #semiconductor leadership’: www.eusemiconductors.eu/sites/defaul...

The EU’s 2026 Work Programme confirms: #ChipsAct2 is coming in 𝗤𝟭 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. #Semiconductors are key to Europe’s tech future – from AI to clean energy, from mobility to digital infrastructure. Let’s align ambition with execution and build a #resilient, #competitive chip ecosystem.
