Programme

The programme will open with keynotes from representatives of DG CNECT setting the scene for discussions on the objectives, opportunities and expected impact of the upcoming Chips Act 2.0. Participants will gain first-hand insights into the policy direction of the new draft and its implications for the European semiconductor value chain.

Dedicated panel discussions will explore the first reactions from industry and Alliance stakeholders to the proposed evolution of the Chips Act. The session will include an open discussion with the audience, policymakers and industry representatives on how the new framework can better support the sector’s needs.

The afternoon will feature parallel Working Group sessions, offering Alliance members the opportunity to engage in more focused discussions linked to the activities and priorities of the different groups. 

Dedicated networking moments throughout the day will facilitate exchanges between members and strengthen connections across the European semiconductor ecosystem. 

Who should attend?

This event is exclusively reserved for members of the European Industrial Alliance for Processors and Semiconductor Technologies.
