Chips JU (formerly KDT JU)

Basic Information

Description

On 22 September 2023 the European Chips Act and the amendment to the Regulation establishing the Joint Undertakings under Horizon Europe entered into force, paving the way for strategic developments in the chip technology sector. One significant outcome of these changes is the expansion and renaming of the Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking (KDT JU), which will now be known as the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU).
Chips JU (formerly Key Digital Technologies (KDT) JU) encompasses electronic components, their design, manufacture and integration in systems and the software that defines how they work. The overarching objective of this partnership is to support the digital transformation of all economic and societal sectors and the European Green Deal, as well as support research and innovation towards the next generation of microprocessors. Together with the Declaration on a European Initiative on processors and semiconductor technologies signed by 20 Member States, an upcoming alliance on microelectronics, and a possible new Important Project of Common European Interest under discussion by Member States to foster breakthrough innovation, this new partnership will help boost competitiveness and Europe’s technological sovereignty
