Discussing International Cooperation in Taiwan
ICOS² is strengthening its international presence through its participation in discussions on semiconductor and quantum technologies at the International Conference on Industrial Technology Innovation (ICITI 2026), held in Taipei, Taiwan.
From the EU Chips Act to the Chips Act 2.0
Launched by the European Commission in 2023, the European Chips Act has created an important framework to strengthen the EU’s semiconductor capabilities, covering from research and design to manufacturing, packaging,
About ICOS²
Let's build the future of semiconductor innovation together with ICOS².
From AI and mobility to healthcare and space, semiconductors are key for technological development. ICOS² aims to reinforce Europe’s position in the global semiconductor ecosystem, by strengthening international collaboration.
Work packages
Economic intelligence
ICOS² will map the global semiconductor supply chains and industrial ecosystem and their expected evolution including their strengths, gaps, and vulnerabilities in non EU-countries.
Cooperation intelligence
An analysis of political, industrial, and research cooperation frameworks will be conducted to evaluate cooperation modalities, and model “what-if” scenarios, thereby anticipating risks.
Dissemination and engagement
The engagement to specific stakeholders will be ensured by an effective communication campaign of results. This communication plan is here to maximise uptake and ensure long-term impact.
Technology intelligence
ICOS² will assess the positioning of the EU relative to global competitors in emerging semiconductor technologies, identifying opportunities for leadership.
Recommendations and support actions
A set of concrete recommendations for EU–non-EU cooperation will be published to support joint calls, and promote researcher mobility in priority fields that will be identified during the project activities.
