Colorful silicon wafers symbolizing Europe’s semiconductor resilience – EE Times Europe feature by Christoph H. X. Gnadl

Introduction

Europe’s €43 billion Chips Act aims to secure supply chains and technological sovereignty — yet resilience is built on more than new fabs. In this article, Christoph H. X. Gnadl outlines why operational preparedness inside OEMs, demand transparency across tiers, and better-aligned incentives will define Europe’s next semiconductor test.

Key takeaways

- Structural overreliance on mature-node capacity (40–180 nm) persists.

- Demand transparency remains fragmented across OEMs, Tier-1s and suppliers.

- Resilience depends on cross-functional planning and long-horizon supplier partnerships — not fab capacity alone.

Why this matters

Europe’s industrial and automotive leaders can mitigate the next supply-chain shock by linking internal S&OP, supplier strategies, and program management to realistic semiconductor lifecycle dynamics — especially at mature nodes.

Author’s note

This contribution builds on engagements with European industrial and automotive clients.
