The Pact for Skills, a new European engagement and governance program, aims to support upskilling & reskilling and generate European, national and regional funding to attract new talent. The Pact makes it a priority to create a well-skilled workforce in microelectronics R&D, design, & manufacturing.

As the global economy is constantly transformed, the need for new skills in the microelectronics industry has never been higher. To develop a workforce fit for the future, it is crucial to invest not only in reskilling and upskilling, but also in skills anticipation and inclusivity.

SEMI met with Dr. Jose Pozo, director of Technology and Innovation at EPIC (European Photonics Industry Consortium), to discuss how 3D packaging applications and heterogeneous integration trends are shaping the European technology landscape.
