Marc Isabelle

Abstract
The semiconductor industry is one of the largest beneficiaries of public funding in the EU. This momentum is reinforced by the EU Chips Act 2.0 and IPCEI AST, which place semiconductor technologies and investments at the heart of Europe’s renewed industrial policy. Grants support R&D activities, first industrial deployment of breakthrough innovations, and first-of-a-kind manufacturing facilities across the value chain. Securing State aid and EU funding remains highly competitive and requires a clear understanding of available opportunities, processes and regulations. Based on several use cases, Marc Isabelle’s presentation will provide a practical first dive into public funding opportunities for the semiconductor industry in the EU.
