EU Chips Act: Realizing Europe’s ambition by 2030

In recent years, supply chain disruptions have led to restrictions in the production of everything from cars to computers and medical equipment, emphasizing the vital role chips play in the global economy. Industry growth is expected to reach $1T USD by 2030, and the European Chips Act will be instrumental in enabling European progress to maintain its competitive advantage and leadership.

In this session, speakers will present on how the industry will grow exponentially to meet the increased demand for semiconductors, driven by mega trends IoT, automotive, digitization, electrification, healthcare, cloud and edge computing, and machine learning.

Disruptive technology roadmaps are crucial to European competitiveness and leadership, and they rely on semiconductors to enable innovative breakthroughs. In this session, speakers will demonstrate that whether in medical devices, data centers, artificial intelligence, or automotive, semiconductors are essential to fueling digitalization and building a secure and sustainable future.

This session will explore how inclusive leadership is essential to building a diverse and sustainable workforce and to overcoming critical industry challenges like global talent and chip shortages, while improving employee retention and organizational culture.
- Deep dive into internal organizational strategies and initiatives for more diverse and inclusive work environments
- Managing generational differences in management and upcoming talent
- Attracting and retaining high potentials to fill the talent pipeline and build the workforce of tomorrow

Semiconductor manufacturing is an essential business across all regions of the world. Today there are more ambitious plans for investments in new and existing fabs than ever before. Across the value chain, the semiconductor industry has the urgent need of introducing smarter, sustainable manufacturing solutions to enable growth and reach sustainability goals.

The focal point of this session is to demonstrate how the introduction of more automation, data analytics, and processing, novel approaches to manufacturing, as well as resource-saving technologies, provides the opportunity – and the necessity – for all stakeholders to work collaboratively to achieve industry sustainability goals and pave the way to Net Zero.
