IPC COMMUNITY 14 SUMMER 2024
2030, it is crucial to set corresponding targets
for advanced packaging and IC substrates. Such
targets will ensure a robust supply chain and
enhance the EU's competitiveness in the semi-
conductor industry. Targeted policies and stra-
tegic investments in these areas are essential to
fortify the EU's electronics manufacturing base
and secure its position as a global leader in tech-
nology and innovation.
The future of the EU's electronics manufac-
turing base hinges on the actions taken today.
By strategically investing in and supporting the
growth of this sector, the EU can secure its posi-
tion as a global leader in technology and inno-
vation. The challenges are significant, but so are
the opportunities. With strategic foresight and
collaborative effort, the EU can reclaim its lead-
ership in the electronics manufacturing industry
and pave the way for a prosperous future.

lished paper, Securing EU's Electronics Ecosys-
