For the first time, technology has been singled out as a flashpoint for global security. German science minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger will tell the conference she wants ‘increased action’ on research security
Chips R&D is very expensive and it doesn’t make sense to duplicate capabilities. To get the full strategic value from their multi-billion incentive schemes, EU-US collaboration ‘is a must’ a joint Science|Business/CSIS conference hears
The EU has officially launched its Chips joint undertaking, kicking off with a call for four pilot production lines to bridge the gap between research and fabrication
EU officials say economic security assessments are a first step towards gaining competitive edge in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and biotechnology
MEPs say the EU Chips joint undertaking should put more emphasis on R&D of next generation semiconductors – and they tell the European Commission not to divert Horizon Europe money to new initiatives like the Chips Act
Rather than being an ‘America first’ initiative, the move to grow the domestic semiconductor sector will embrace international cooperation, especially with Europe
Alongside a big injection of cash for basic and applied research, the Chips and Science bill will put more than $50B into semiconductor manufacturing, mirroring EU action to bring chip production back onshore
