On 8 February 2022, the European Commission proposed the European Chips Act. The proposal seeks to mobilise more than EUR 43bn of public and private investments, to help European industry prevent, prepare for, and anticipate future semiconductor supply chain disruptions.

To help the Commission deliver this public support, a dedicated European Chips Survey was launched to help shape and guide financial and non-financial support. We would very much welcome to hear the voices of all stakeholders in order to ensure that all industry’s requirements are sufficiently represented and can be adequately addressed. So, if you are an organisation that has a stake in the manufacturing of semiconductors, or purchases finished/packaged semiconductor products (e.g., from wholesalers) then we would very much appreciate your participation.

We encourage you (or your associates) to complete the European Chips Survey (https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EuropeanChipsSurvey), to facilitate us in our work to best meet your needs. The deadline for responding to the survey is the 20 March 2022.

All information collected is strictly confidential and will not be shared with third parties.

The European Chips Survey aims to gather information on current and future wafer and chip demand, as well as other industry needs. Your input will help policymakers identify and target concrete actions, commitments and investments needed at the regional, national, and European level.
