The meeting will bring together stakeholders from across the semiconductor industry to exchange views on how the Chips Act is being implemented and to discuss recommendations for its upcoming revision. During the dialogue, industry representatives will present a report to the Executive Vice-President with their reflections and suggestions for future policy actions.

The European Chips Act Regulation aligns with the European Commission's ambitions of increasing sovereignty and competitiveness. It strengthens the Union's semiconductor ecosystem, ensures supply chain resilience and lowers external dependencies, marking a pivotal step towards EU technological sovereignty.

The dialogue follows a public consultation and call for evidence organised in autumn 2025. The upcoming revision of the Chips Act will form a part of a broader Technological Sovereignty package which will strengthen the capacity of the Union's digital industries. The results of all consultation activities will be published upon adoption of the proposal.

More information on the implementation dialogues is available online.
