  1. You guys know it’s about microchip shortage used for a lot of technologies (computers , cars , etc) and nothing to do with implant microchip elon-musk style , right ?

  2. I suppose it’s helpful that one of the worlds primary producers for the equipment that chip factories need resides in the EU (ASML). But Europe’s environmental restrictions are the main reason why these kinds of industries have fled overseas. As long as those are maintained, make whatever law you want, there’ll be nothing coming back here.

    Something about that is really cool.

  4. “the EU’s need for chips is set to double in the next decade. The proposal, known as the European Chips Act, will aim to adapt state aid rules, improve tools to anticipate shortages and crisis and strengthen research capacity in the bloc.”

    Imagining they’re talking about potato chips makes it so much funnier. The EU is serious about its snacks

  5. So they think they can be TSMC in 8 years?

    The way to do that would be an impressive R&D grant system, not telling people they must buy from within Europe. You’ll end up with inferior / simpler production lines only, so still dependant on such global events as we’re currently seeing.
