High78% confidenceProfile verified Jul 20, 2026

The European Chips Act is the EU's strategy to rebuild domestic semiconductor capacity, adopted in 2023 and expanded via a June 2026 'Chips Act 2.0' proposal. It has catalyzed over €80 billion in chip-related investment against an original €43 billion target, including a €10 billion-plus ESMC fab in Dresden, with the 2.0 overhaul targeting €120 billion in public-private investment by 2035.
