👏 A great success and a strong message—and a timely reminder! 🇪🇺 To safeguard Europe's #competitiveness in electronic components & systems, the #ChipsJointUndertaking must continue beyond the current programme and be reinforced under #FP10, the next EU Framework Programme, as well as the second #ChipsAct. 💡 This is not simply about funding—it is about securing Europe's technological leadership, innovation capacity, and strategic resilience in one of the world's most critical industries. 🚀 Now is the time to scale up our ambition, not scale it back. A stronger Chips JU is essential to keep Europe competitive in this key strategic sector.
