Launch of the Chips JU Pilot Lines – €3.7 billion investment
The European Union and Participating States are strengthening the capacity building and innovation in Europe with a €3.7 billion investment for the Chips JU pilot lines.
The Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) aims to bolster Europe’s semiconductor industry by fostering collaboration between the EU, member states, and private sector. Focused on research, innovation, and manufacturing, Chips JU seeks to position Europe as a leader in semiconductor technology, enhance digital capacity, and address global challenges such as sustainability.
This initiative has major importance for chip production to guarantee the EU’s economic security and competitiveness, and the necessity to encourage investment in the sector.
As a key action of the Chips for Europe Initiative, the pilot lines will accelerate the development, testing, and scaling of semiconductor innovations, and ultimately bridge the gap between research and mass production. Their implementation will strengthen Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem while reinforcing the EU’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and economic growth.
Funding is targeted at bridging the gap between lab demonstrations and full-scale manufacturing of semiconductor product development. These pilot lines will prototype and scale up innovations, ensuring a smoother transition to production and reducing overall risks.
