Microelectronics lies at the heart of cutting-edge technology and therefore has a direct impact on people’s everyday lives and how we live together: microchips are not only found in mobile phones, tablets and computers. Microelectronics also regulates energy supply, controls medical technology and data flows for the internet, and enables a modern, secure and connected way of life.
The independent development of high-performance chips is therefore crucial for Germany’s economy and security. The High-Tech Agenda Germany strengthens security of supply through investment in chip design, production and the transfer of research into practical applications. In this way, we aim to reduce dependencies, create robust supply chains and become Europe’s leading location for chips.
