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?
Europe fabs have been tried and cheap fabs work but the premier small dies are unable to find profit. Even US chips are bigger, older models. Taiwan is really the only place to get world class technology at an affordable price.
Europe might sell a lot of chips but “winning” is a very loose criteria that doesn’t apply when comparing technological sophistication of chips or innovation.
