European Commission calls for evidence to review the Chips Act
As of September 5th 2025, the European Commission has launched a public consultation to evaluate and review the Chips Act on EU competitiveness in the semiconductor sector. Following approval from the Parliament and Council, the Chips Act entered into force on 21 September 2023. Now, after 2 years, stakeholders in the sector have 12 weeks (until November 28th) to provide feedback on its effectiveness and its impact. Most importantly, there is an opportunity for players in the ecosystem to highlight the remaining challenges that still require addressing, such as advanced manufacturing and Artificial Intelligence chips.
The European Commission hopes for broad participation to this consultation from all interested parties with a focus on scientific evidence and research contributions. The objective? Making sure that legislation remains relevant, efficient and bringing added value to the EU supply chain and society at large. Find below the list of encouraged contributions:
- Industry stakeholders across the semiconductor value chain (IDMs, fabless companies, design houses, equipment manufacturers, suppliers);
- Industrial users of semiconductors in sectors such as automotive, telecom, healthcare, energy, industrial robotics and manufacturing, defence, and security;
- National competent authorities, including semiconductor-relevant authorities;
- EU bodies such as the Chips Joint Undertaking, EISMEA, EIB, and EIF;
- Start-ups, SMEs, and scale-ups;
- Research and Technology Organisations, academia, and scientific associations;
- Trade and industry associations;
- Investors, including venture capital and private equity;
- NGOs, think tanks, and other civil society organisations;
- Independent experts and consultants.
Take an active role in shaping the future of the EU semiconductor industry!
