The EU Chips Act: How semiconductor ecosystems increase competitiveness in Europe’s regions
On December 7, 2022, Intel hosted an event in Magdeburg to demonstrate the added value of investing in the European semiconductor ecosystem. Watch the highlight video to hear directly from industry leaders and government officials as they describe how the EU Chips Act will help ensure security of supply, resilience, and technological leadership in semiconductor technologies and applications in Europe.
Are Chips the Testbed for Increased Transatlantic Cooperation?
The EU and US have proposed plans to restore resilience and balance for one of the world’s most foundational technologies and essential industries. While pursuing complete self-sufficiency as a goal would be unrealistic, the proposals are designed to provide public funding for each region’s critical semiconductor needs. Both plans provide public support to help increase private investment in semiconductor R&D and manufacturing, but the plans have distinct implementation strategies and requirements.
Intel’s Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Commitment is Key to Delivering Green Tech
Microprocessors are the backbone of our digital infrastructure and a key enabler for a more sustainable economy and carbon neutral future. Intel has made a commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our operations by 2040.
