Report description
This deliverable provides an updated, forward-looking view of future and emerging technologies across advanced computation and advanced functionality, building on D3.1–D3.3. It synthesizes recent roadmaps and expert inputs to reassess technological maturity, strategic relevance, and Europe’s positioning. The analysis combines desk research on international and European sources with consortium expertise to ensure alignment with the latest trends and priorities.
The main results
This report aims at supporting the European Commission in implementing measures to strengthen the position of Europe’s industry in the global semiconductor value chain.
The ICOS project team conducted an assessment of the semiconductor industry for seven non-EU countries. Emerging technologies in advanced computing and functionalities were also evaluated from R&D (RTO) perspective. Workshops and interviews were used to gauge the community’s opinion on the challenges and possible solutions and to strengthen international cooperation. The final analysis of all these results will now lead to the final political advice, which can be summarised in three main areas of recommendations:
- coordinated action
- strategic investment
- innovation support
All proposed recommendations and associated measures contribute to these 3 areas of action.
