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 strengthen Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem, reinforce technological sovereignty and improve supply chain resilience through coordinated investments in research, innovation and manufacturing. Building on these efforts, the European Commission has recently proposed the Chips Act 2.0, introducing new measures to support innovation, industrial deployment, market uptake and long-term resilience across the semiconductor value chain. Central to this ambition is the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU), a collaborative initiative bringing together the EU, Member States and industry to advance research, innovation and manufacturing capacities. The ECS-SRIA serves as a key reference for the European ECS community, helping align research priorities, industrial needs and strategic objectives for Europe’s semiconductor future.
