Enhancing competitiveness and achieving strategic autonomy in Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) is essential for the EU’s resilience and leadership in global innovation. The European Chips Act aims to double Europe’s share in global semiconductor production to 20% by 2030, reinforcing technological sovereignty and supply chain resilience. Central to this initiative is the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU), a collaborative effort among the EU, member states, and industry, focusing on advancing research, innovation, and manufacturing capacities within Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem. Complementing these efforts, the European Commission have adopted strategies to fortify the ECS sector, including targeted investments and policy frameworks to support innovation and industrial growth. The ECS-SRIA serves as a foundational document guiding initiatives like the Chips JU, ensuring alignment between research efforts and industrial objectives.
