Everyone says Europe is losing the global chip race. But what if that’s completely wrong? From electric vehicles and power grids to AI data centers, Europe quietly dominates some of the most critical technologies powering the modern world. In this video, we explore Europe’s hidden semiconductor champions, from Infineon and STMicroelectronics to ASML, Zeiss, Trumpf, and imec. Why are Nvidia and TSMC always in the headlines while Europe’s tech giants remain largely invisible?
And we need more. We don’t need to start from scratch, at least on the designs.
We had ARM, still a British company but externally owned. We can also work on improving and building on top of RISC-V. For many use cases, you don’t need “flagship” chips, and having your own reduces your dependency since they can’t cut you off completely.
