The European Chip Act has officially come into effect
On the 21st local time, the European Chip Act officially came into effect. The announcement released by the European Commission on the same day stated that the plan promotes the industrialization of key technologies through the European Chip Program and encourages public and private enterprises to invest in the manufacturing facilities of chip manufacturers and their suppliers.
Under the framework of the bill, the EU plans to establish coordination mechanisms between member states and committees to strengthen cooperation among member states, monitor chip supply, estimate demand, and activate emergency mechanisms when necessary.
The announcement states that Europe accounts for less than 10% of the global semiconductor production market and heavily relies on third-party suppliers. If the global supply chain is severely disrupted, the European industrial sector may be depleted in a short period of time, leading to a stagnation of European industry.
According to the chip bill, by 2030, the EU will gather € 11.15 billion in public investment from EU institutions and member states, and will utilize a significant amount of private investment. In July of this year, the European Parliament passed the Chip Act. The bill requires that by 2030, the EU's share of global chip production should be increased from the current 10% to 20% to meet its own and global market demand.
