Welcome
The Semiconductors Section serves as the authoritative voice of the semiconductor industry and its suppliers. It fosters dialogue between industry, politics, and society while representing the interests of its member companies at both the German and European political levels. Collaboration between member companies and the office forms the basis of the Semiconductors Section.
Within the section, a robust, pre-competitive exchange occurs on technological, market-relevant, and political issues affecting the semiconductor industry and its suppliers. The section also actively addresses topics such as standardisation and the industry's social significance. A strong alliance between the Semiconductors Section and the PCBs, Components, and Systems Section underpins the joint Microelectronics Platform. This platform combines the expertise of both sections, enhancing collaboration across the entire microelectronics value chain. Semiconductors rank among the most complex products ever created by human ingenuity. An innovative, resilient, and sustainable semiconductor industry is of strategic importance to Germany and Europe. As a key supplier to downstream industries, the semiconductor sector plays a vital role in advancing technological sovereignty and achieving social, economic, and ecological objectives.
