Dutch chip startup claims all-European fab flow – with help from a very American friend
Satnav parts designed and manufactured in the EU, but using GlobalFoundries to produce them
The push for European technological sovereignty is intensifying, driven by geopolitical tensions and a desire to reduce reliance on external supply chains, particularly for critical components like semiconductors.
This demonstrates concrete steps towards regional self-sufficiency in critical technology, even if it requires strategic partnerships, underscoring the complexities of decoupling global supply chains.
The report highlights that achieving 'all-European' semiconductor flows often still necessitates collaboration with key non-European players due to the highly specialized and capital-intensive nature of advanced manufacturing.

Europe reduces dependency on Asian semiconductor manufacturing for specific critical components.
Increased investment and development in European semiconductor design and manufacturing capabilities accelerates.
This model of strategic partnership with 'friendly' foreign entities becomes a template for other critical technologies aiming for regional self-sufficiency.
