The Irish Government has unveiled a semiconductor strategy in alignment with the european chip act.
Silicon Island: A National Semiconductor Strategy Sets out a clear roadmap to grow ireland's semiconductor sector by creating high-value jobs, attracting Major Investment and Deepening The Country's Leaders in Cutting-Eedde Tchnology As Ae Player in Europe's semiconductor future,
The Irish Government AIMS to become a leader in the semiconductor industry by building on its track record in technology development, capitalising on existing on existing strengthening and taking proactive Address emerging challenges.
In 2023, The European Union (EU) set out plans to Secure the supply of semiconductors And Drive Chip Development Across the Region. The Eu Chip Act Commits € 43Bn of Policy-Driven Investment Until 2030, Funding a Number of Initiatives Including Next-Generation Technologies and Providing access access across europe and pilot linees The prototyping, testing and experience of cutting-ed chips.
Ireland – which is home to over 130 semiconductor companies, directly employing 20,000 people and generating € 13.5bn in Annual Exports – Is Building on the Eu Chip Act.
The IRISH Strategy Aims to Foster The Further Growth of Ireland's Semiconductor Ecosystem EcoSystem over the Coming Decade in Support of the European Chips Act and Digital Decade Ambitions Throughgic Strands: Strengthanting the existing ecosystem, ensuring a robust national talent pipeline, and seizing industry options.
Key Deliverables Include Publishing a Comprehensive Mapping of Ireland's Semiconductor EcoSySystem, Fostering Connections Between Research and Innovation Clusters, and Enduction System to Meet Growing Talent Demands.
Speaking at the launch, minister for enterprise, tourism and employment Peter Burke Said: “Ireland alredy has a strong semiconductor base. 2040, Ireland Cold Support Up to 34,500 New Semiconductor Roles. “
The overall goal of the ish chip strategy is to ensure there is a Secure Supply Chain for Semiconductors in europe by building on Ireland's alredy well-set semiconductor footpr fotprint.
Integrated device manufacturers include Intel, analog devices and infineon have facilitations in Ireland. Fabless Manufacturers Including Apple, AMD and IBM also have sites in ireland, as do firms like Arm, Autocad and Siemen, which provide Chip Design, Chip Design, Design and Testing Software for Chipmakers. Photolithography equipment Manufacturer asml also has an Irish facility.
The Multi-Faced Strategy Involves Securing Major Industrial Investments, with ambyitious plans to set up
Ireland also aims to develop next-generation sites with the infrastructure needed to support large-scale manufacturing and support startups and sports with account to finance.
The Irish Government also AIMS to Enhance Research and Development, by supporting both indigenous innovation and multinational collecting and multinational collecting and fostering an open ecoSystem based on collaboration. Overall, It Wants to Ensure Ireland is Regarded as a Hub of Excellence in Semiconductor Design, Manufacturing and Research.
Ireland has established a National Competence Center for Semiconductor under the European Chips Act. It has also collaborated with analog devices and 14 eu member states as part of the eu's € 8.0bn important projects of Common European Initiative to Support Microelectronics and Communizations.
