Chips Act

Semiconductors are a core component of European competitiveness. The first Chips Act led to significant investments in production facilities and helped bridge the gap between lab research and factory applications. However, challenges remain, particularly in advanced manufacturing and AI chips.

The EU wants to further strengthen its position by supporting the entire value chain: from materials and equipment to design and manufacturing. The Commission therefore invites stakeholders to provide feedback on the Chips Act, so that it can contribute to a future-proof European semiconductor ecosystem.

Broad participation encouraged

• Industry stakeholders across the semiconductor value chain (IDMs, fabless companies, design houses, equipment manufacturers, suppliers).
• Industrial users of semiconductors in sectors such as automotive, telecom, healthcare, energy, industrial robotics and manufacturing, defence, and security.
• National competent authorities, including semiconductor-relevant authorities.
• EU bodies such as the Chips Joint Undertaking, EISMEA, EIB, and EIF.
• Start-ups, SMEs, and scale-ups.
• Research and Technology Organisations, academia, and scientific associations.
• Trade and industry associations.
• Investors, including venture capital and private equity.
• NGOs, think tanks, and other civil society organisations.
• Independent experts and consultants.

In line with the Commission’s Better Regulation approach, the Commission particularly welcomes scientific evidence and research contributions (including quantitative analysis and data if available) that can strengthen the evidence base for the evaluation and review.

Feedback

Relevant individuals and/or organizations can submit their feedback until November 28, 2025.
