The EU is expected to achieve the manufacture of advanced chips within ten years to reduce dependence on the United States and Asia

The EU countries semiconductor industry is relatively behind the United States and Asia, according to the latest internal documents obtained by foreign news, the EU hopes to manufacture at least 20% of the world’s advanced chips before 2030, reducing dependence on other countries’ chips, so that the progress of wafer foundry faster than industry giants TSMC and Samsung.

The report points out that the EU has earlier proposed the establishment of new foundries in the local, and in the latest document, the EU proposed a digital compass (Digital Compass) plan, outlining the EU’s development goals for the next decade.
