MEMS sensors and actuators bridge the natural and virtual worlds, unlocking the potential of digital technologies across key industries like automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare. This sector is thriving, showing consistent growth, with Europe leading the charge through its advanced companies and world-class research institutions. Strengthening Europe’s presence in this sector is crucial for maintaining its leadership in the digital revolution. The European Commission is dedicated to sustaining this growth and enhancing Europe’s position in the field, recognizing the strategic importance of the MEMS sector. The EU Chips Act is designed to support this by addressing challenges across the entire semiconductor value chain, benefiting the MEMS sector through enhanced collaboration, research, and funding. This legislation aims to create a more resilient and innovative ecosystem for European MEMS manufacturers and developers. In this keynote, we will provide an overview of the EU Chips Act, highlighting the vast opportunities it offers, including access to world-leading research and innovation platforms, as well as various funding opportunities tailored for the MEMS sector.
