The EU’s 2026 Work Programme confirms: #ChipsAct2 is coming in 𝗤𝟭 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. #Semiconductors are key to Europe’s tech future – from AI to clean energy, from mobility to digital infrastructure. Let’s align ambition with execution and build a #resilient, #competitive chip ecosystem.
It can't be that the most advanced chip machines are made in Europe (the Netherlands) and we do not have the capability to make our own chips #ChipsAct2 #tech #ASML #europe #eu
