By 2030 we will double our current market share of chips to 20%.

Together with EU countries, we will mobilise more than €43 billion of public and private investments to prepare, anticipate, and swiftly respond to the current and future supply chains disruptions.

The global chip shortage hit us in everyday life.

There are semiconductors in everything from smartphones to cars and domestic appliances.

Chips are a strategic component of any industrial chain.

#EUChipsAct ImageImage
The Chips Act is a milestone for Europe, one that will benefit our industry, economy and society. It means:

➕ skilled jobs and new markets for our companies
➕ geopolitical independence for Europe
➕ diverse and resilient supply chain for the world

#EUChipsAct Image
The main components of the #EUChipsAct are:

✔️the Chips for Europe Initiative
✔️a new framework to ensure the security of supply
✔️a coordination mechanism at the EU level
✔️a joint crisis assessment and coordinated responses Image
The #EUChipsAct will help us achieve the 2030 Digital Decade target - empowering businesses and people in a human-centred, sustainable and more prosperous digital future.

These new measures will make Europe a major global player in the semiconductors ecosystem. ImageImage

Innovation. Clean mobility. Competitiveness.

After intense dialogue with the automotive sector, we presented the Automotive Package to support the sector’s efforts in transitioning to clean mobility.

What’s in the package: 🧵↓ An infographic from the European Commission on a solid blue background titled "Automotive Package: Support for a clean and competitive sector." The graphic features a central illustration of a white car body on a grey assembly line being worked on by two yellow robotic arms.
On the supply side:

🚗A review of the existing CO₂ emission standards for cars and vans.
🚛A targeted amendment to those for heavy-duty vehicles.

On the demand side:

🚚An initiative to decarbonise corporate fleets with binding national targets for zero- and low-emission vehicles.An infographic titled "Revision of CO2 standards" listing three points: a review of existing emission standards for cars and vans; the continued role of hybrids and internal combustion engines beyond 2035; and targeted amendments for heavy-duty vehicles. The bottom shows two yellow robotic arms working on a blue car on an assembly line.
👉 Leading up to 2035, car manufacturers will be able to benefit from ‘super credits’ for small affordable electric cars made in the EU. An infographic titled "Super credits" explaining that prior to 2035, car manufacturers can benefit from credits for small affordable electric cars made in the EU to help bring more models to market. The illustration shows yellow robotic arms positioned between two blue car bodies on a production line.

Securing Europe’s supply chains is not optional. It’s essential.

We've launched a new approach to economic security to cut dependencies, protect critical tech.

Unprecedented economic security threats - from war in Ukraine to unfair competition - demand unprecedented answers ↓
Our new approach delivers two major steps forward:

🔹 A strategic Economic Security framework to make smarter, more coordinated use of EU tools to protect critical technologies, secure supply chains, attract safe investment and safeguard sensitive data. ↓
🔸 RESourceEU, the first concrete action under this approach, ensuring access to alternative sources of critical raw materials and semiconductors for European industry.
