Semiconductors are the central nervous system of our economy, powering everything from defence to healthcare and other critical industry.
But in today’s shifting geopolitical landscape, key questions emerge:
- What should be the EU’s long-term semiconductor goals?
- Which partners should the EU cooperate with to bolster the resilience of global semiconductor supply chains – and how?
- Which policies can help boost EU innovation and competitiveness in this field?
- And how can we better assess and manage risks to Europe’s semiconductor interests?
These are some of the critical issues the Chips Diplomacy Support Initiative (CHIPDIPLO) will tackle over the next 18 months, conducing research and organising dialogues.
We are thrilled to be part of this project funded by the European Commission alongside partners: Institut Montaigne, Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS), and CEIAS: Central European Institute of Asian Studies.
Joris Teer, Senior Advisor to the CHIPDIPLO-consortium and our Research Analyst for Economic Security and Technology and Director Steven Everts, will lead our engagement.
