CLEPA endorses the Semiconductor Coalition declaration

CLEPA, together with 75 industry representatives, welcomes the Declaration of the Semiconductor Coalition Europe. The declaration captures the scale of Europe’s challenges and sets out clear priorities for a strong semiconductor strategy.

We reaffirm the goal of building prosperity, resilience and indispensability in the next Chips Act, and stress that strong political ownership and execution are essential to attract the investment needed for both foundational and leading-edge semiconductor production in Europe.

Key actions required:

• Bold political leadership from the Commission and Member States to implement the Declaration.
• Favourable business conditions, including regulatory simplification, incentives, faster permitting, reliable infrastructure, talent, secure raw materials, and fair trade.
• A market-driven business case that connects European and global demand, fostering partnerships and investment.
