The European Chips Act is intended to make the European semiconductor industry competitive again along the entire value chain. To this end, it aims to address European strengths and weaknesses, create a strong ecosystem, mitigate shortages and improve the security of supply of much-needed semiconductors.

But what exactly does that mean? What goals does the EU Chips Act have apart from the pious wish to increase the European share of the global chip market to 20% by 2030? In an interview with Julia Hess and Frank Bösenberg, we address these questions, explain the basic objectives, hurdles, the current status of the planned settlement and investment decisions and the question of where the money for the Chips Act is actually coming from.
