SEMI Europe today participated in the European Commission’s Implementation Dialogue on the Chips Act, chaired by Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy. As a key association representing the global electronics manufacturing and design supply chain in the region, SEMI Europe commends the European Commission for coordinating the Chips Act 2.0 Report, in consultation with leading semiconductor companies, to help define the future direction of Europe’s semiconductor policy and investment framework.
In this context, the Implementation Dialogue provided a valuable platform to assess progress under the European Chips Act and to gather concrete recommendations for its upcoming revision, commonly referred to as “Chips Act 2.0.” SEMI Europe strongly supports this consultative approach, which helps ensure that policy objectives are achieved while minimizing administrative and compliance burden for industry.
“SEMI Europe applauds the European Commission for fostering an open and constructive dialogue with industry at a critical moment for Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem,” said Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe. “This is a defining moment. With focused execution and unified commitment across institutions and industry, Europe can secure its position as a global leader in semiconductor innovation and manufacturing for decades to come.”
During the dialogue, SEMI Europe highlighted its significant contribution to the policy discussion through its SEMI Europe Chips Act Report published last year, which outlined 30 recommendations aimed at strengthening Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem across the entire supply chain. These included regulatory simplification, accelerated permitting processes, targeted investment support, and measures to strengthen the resilience of the semiconductor supply chain.
SEMI, with its global footprint of over 3,000 members worldwide from across the entire semiconductor value chain, will remain a trusted partner to facilitate global collaboration and support the success of the European Chips Act and its potential “2.0.”

Executive Summary
Full Take
The article showcases a collaborative effort between the European Commission and industry associations like SEMI Europe to define the future direction of Europe's semiconductor policy and investment framework. By fostering an open dialogue, both parties aim to ensure that policy objectives are achieved while minimizing administrative and compliance burden for industry.
However, it is important to note that while such collaborations can lead to beneficial outcomes, they also present potential risks of influence and alignment with corporate interests. It would be worth investigating the extent to which various stakeholders—including smaller, independent entities—are being represented in these discussions, as well as the long-term implications for competition and innovation within Europe's semiconductor market.
Patterns detected: ARC-0012 Collaboration with industry (a positive pattern).
