Künstliche Intelligenz: EU will Chips aus Europa mit halber Milliarde Euro fördern
Die EU will so die heimische Chipproduktion erhöhen. Der Anteil liegt derzeit nur bei zehn Prozent. Bis 2030 soll er auf 20 Prozent steigen.
Brussels - The European Union is investing several hundred million euros to bolster the European chip industry, with a total of 525 million euros earmarked for new companies. According to the European Commission, the funds will provide access to expensive software, consulting and production capacity, primarily for young companies.
The EU aims to address its weak position in this key technology, aiming to catch up with China and the United States in chip production. Currently, European firms account for less than one percent of global semiconductor sales. The EU Commission initially planned to increase its share in global semiconductor manufacturing to 20 percent by 2030, up from the current 10 percent, according to Brussels' authority.
To achieve this goal, the European Union is also collaborating with non-EU countries. In addition to 285 million euros from the EU budget, contributions of 240 million euros are coming from participating nations, including several EU countries, Israel, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Germany, however, is not involved in the program.
