OK, so we just finished our 3-paper series on the #EUChipsAct.

The 3. paper assesses the effectiveness of the proposed #Crisis Response Toolbox.

We see many, many problems. Here's why... 🧵

#semiconductors #chips #chipshortage #Europe Image The proposal talks about utilizing common purchasing, export restrictions and priority-rated orders during future chip shortages to ensure security of supply for Europe.

We also added national reserves since several countries (Spain, Japan...) are thinking about those.

Good news everybody!

The excellent @J_B_C16 and I teamed up (again!) to analyze what #China's rise in #semiconductors means for #EU. It's not 60 pages and 300 references like the last one (sorry).

Reading this are 20min well spent, promise!

stiftung-nv.de/en/node/3187 Image This is the second paper based on our (@snv_berlin) cooperation with @merics_eu to make a deep dive into #China's #semiconductor ecosystem. The first paper assessed China's competitiveness in #chips and can be found here. stiftung-nv.de/sites/default/… (it's a "long-read").

Good news everybody!

To enrich your summer break John (@J_B_C16) and I wrote about #semiconductors and #China!

We analyzed the global semi value chain across three strategic dimensions: industry competitiveness, #NationalSecurity and #resilience

cc @snv_berlin @merics_eu /1 Image First, we looked at the generic production steps - consisting of 3 process steps and 5 inputs.

For each we analyzed barriers to entry, market concentration, competitiveness of Chinese industry, Chinese policies, etc. Image

Why don't we talk about the 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗦 of replacing #Huawei gear in EU?

Both @BTGroup and @VodafoneGroup talked about it in their latest financial reports to investors.

Let's have a look... [THREAD] The BT Group estimated in their latest financial statement that the UK's 5G requirements will have "an impact of around £500 million over the next 5 years."

There is a relatively new #5G report from @OxfordEconomics analyzing economic impact (losses) of banning #Huawei in different countries: resources.oxfordeconomics.com/hubfs/Huawei_5…
Their math might be right but several of their assumptions are flawed and ill-informed. [THREAD] Assumption: RAN Market shares will remain the same over the next 10 YEARS. If Huawei is restricted, operators have to choose between Nokia or Ericsson since smaller vendors don't have "the same global reach or breadth of products and services [...] to successfully compete". p14
