EU Invites Feedback on Chips Act 2 for Semiconductor Innovation
Brussels, Monday, 3 November 2025.
The European Commission’s public consultation on Chips Act 2, open until 28 November 2025, seeks insights to boost the EU’s semiconductor innovation and strategic autonomy.
Strategic Objectives of Chips Act 2
The European Commission has launched the public consultation for Chips Act 2, aiming to foster strategic autonomy and bolster the EU’s semiconductor industry. The initiative seeks to continue the progress made by the initial EU Chips Act, focusing on enhancing innovation, production capacity, and resilience within the semiconductor sector. The consultation allows stakeholders, including companies, knowledge institutions, and industry organizations, to provide feedback on key themes such as investment conditions, innovation policy, and access to talent until 28 November 2025 [1][9].
Enhancing Semiconductor Innovation
The Chips Act 2 is pivotal for the EU’s ambition to strengthen its semiconductor innovation landscape. This initiative aims to reduce dependency on external sources and address supply chain disruptions highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The European Commission emphasizes the importance of gathering insights to shape future policies that align with the needs of the European industry and knowledge partners. By doing so, the initiative supports technological sovereignty and economic resilience across EU member states, including the Netherlands [1][9].
The Role of Stakeholders
Stakeholders have a critical role in shaping the outcomes of the Chips Act 2. Through the public consultation, they can share valuable perspectives and insights into strategic autonomy, innovation policies, and the conditions necessary to foster a robust semiconductor ecosystem within the EU. The feedback gathered will inform the European Commission’s approach to ensuring that Europe remains a leader in semiconductor technology and continues to build a resilient and innovative ecosystem [1][9].
Conclusion
The European Commission’s public consultation for the Chips Act 2 marks a significant step towards enhancing the EU’s semiconductor innovation and strategic autonomy. By inviting diverse perspectives, the initiative aims to address existing challenges and pave the way for a resilient and competitive semiconductor industry in Europe. Stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the consultation process, which remains open until 28 November 2025, contributing to the shaping of policies that will impact the future of the EU’s technological sovereignty [1][9].
