  • While the European Commission had initially proposed funding only cutting-edge chip plants, EU governments and lawmakers have expanded the scope to cover the whole value chain, including older chips and research and design facilities.
  • The Commission declared the Chips Act in 2022 to cut EU dependence on U.S. and Asian semiconductors following global supply chain problems that spread across European businesses, from carmakers to manufacturers.
  • In 2021, the EU pledged over $150 billion to develop next-generation digital industries this decade to raise self-reliance in advanced technologies like chips and AI.
  • U.S. trade disputes with China influenced the EU's move, further aggravated by the pandemic-induced supply-chain bottlenecks and automotive microchip crisis.
  • Europe's leading semiconductor companies include the Netherlands' ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:ASML), Germany's Infineon Technologies AG (OTC:IFNNF) (OTC:IFNNY), and Netherlands' NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ:NXPI), competing the solid presence of Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:TSM).
  • Price Action: ASML shares traded lower by 1.39% at $659.41 on the last check Wednesday.
