With its emphasis on research, development and innovation, the European Commission’s Chips Act proposal could go a long way toward addressing the semiconductor supply chain disruption and preventing future shortages. However, to achieve its objectives, the Commission must provide clearer guidance on a range of issues. As the legislation moves forward, it must consider the needs of businesses in Europe that rely on chips, as well as cooperate and coordinate with the EU’s most important trade partner, the US, as it works toward the same goal. Read AmCham EU’s perspectives on how to improve the Chips Act and learn more about these microchips, the ‘brains’ inside electronics.

Choose France, choose the future
Cisco is strengthening France’s role in the global digital economy with the launch of its Global AI Hub, announced at the 2025 Choose France Summit. The hub will focus on secure, energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, innovative cooling solutions for data centres and support for the startup ecosystem. To address future workforce needs, Cisco will also train 230,000 people in France over the next three years through its Networking Academy, covering fields such as cybersecurity, data science and AI. Building on nearly 400,000 individuals already trained in France, this investment supports Cisco’s EU-wide commitment to train 1.5 million people by 2030. Read more on Invested in Europe.
