Through the European Chips Act, the European Union seeks to double its global semiconductor market share, aiming to reach 20% by 2030. In total, more than €43 billion of policy-driven investment will support the Chips Act until 2030.

It sets out five key priorities:

  • Advancing research and technological leadership
  • Expanding and strengthening Europe’s ability to innovate in chip design, manufacturing, and packaging
  • Establishing a solid framework to scale up production by 2030
  • Tackling the skills gap and attracting talent
  • Enhancing knowledge and oversight of the global semiconductor supply chain

The Chips Act proposes a more investor-friendly framework for establishing manufacturing facilities in Europe and support for innovative start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs in accessing equity finance.
