CHIPS AND DIGITALIZATION
Publication date: February 12, 2026
The EU Chips Act is a major European legislative package launched to boost the EU’s semiconductor industry, aiming to double its global market share to 20% by 2030, enhance supply chain resilience, and reduce reliance on external chipmakers. The EU Chips Act 2.0 is a proposed follow-up to the 2023 Chips Act, driven by a coalition of EU member states (including Germany, France, Netherlands) in late 2025 to shift from crisis management to long-term industrial strategy. It aims to secure supply chains, boost competitiveness, and accelerate investment by simplifying regulations and targeting R&D.
