About 45% of the OECD Economic growth since 1985 comes from increased
productivity, electronics is a key driver for this growth
Good system understanding enables semiconductor companies to develop
solutions which increase productivity
Example Automotive: 70-80% of innovations depend on electronics

Functional Diversification is a Main Strength
of the European Industry…
Leading system competence in
major application areas like
power electronics for industry
and individual mobility located in
Europe
A leading MtM semiconductor
industry and fast access to
innovations in micro/nanoelectronic is vital for leveraging
further this European strength
Full value chains enabled by
pilot lines and high volume
semiconductor production (MtM!)
are needed for global
competitiveness

Challenges of Manufacturing in Europe:
Strategies and Needs
R&D combined with differentiating manufacturing
From product thinking to system understanding
Active contribution to European agenda setting
Collaboration with excellent partners in the value
chain incl. European universities and RTOs
Speed in time to market
Agreed strategies and programmes: straight
implementation and speed: at European, National,
Regional level
State Aid rules designed to foster European
competitiveness in global „match“
Europe as lead market and ”Made in Europe“
supply chains
New production facilities require high volume
products, pilot lines, services & solutions for generating
economic growth. CPS/Ind. 4.0!
Best work force and talents: education!!
