3rd Executive Summit at SEMICON Europa

Tuesday, 6 October, 16:00 – 18:15
Messe Dresden, Dresden, Germany
Conference Center, Room Hamburg 1

Semiconductor Manufacturing in Europe

The semiconductor industry is a key contributor to European economic growth and prosperity, and an important enabler of Europe’s success in various leading sectors such as automotive, telecom, and industrial machinery. The semiconductor industry also provides solutions for the important issues in our society and serves as the foundation for progress in energy conservation, renewable energy, biotechnology, aging-population and many other fields. Semiconductors are critical to the European industry and welfare. Governments in Asia and the USA strongly support the semiconductor device makers by providing significant incentives and a favourable regulatory environment. The European semiconductor base is shrinking, and European equipment and materials suppliers are concerned by this development as close collaboration with their customers is required in order to develop leading edge technology. Although system integration, R&D and small scale production might still remain in Europe, SEMI Europe members fear that without major semiconductor manufacturing, eventually knowledge-based activities will also relocate to other regions—with severe consequences for Europe’s competitiveness. To keep Europe in the technology race, EU institutions and member states must reinforce their commitment to the industry.
