How can Europe bridge the semiconductor gap with the US and Asia—before it’s too late?

In this third part of my conversation with Philippe Notton, CEO of SiPearl, we dig into the real-world consequences of Europe's chip dependency and the massive effort required to catch up.

🔹 Why Europe is at least two decades behind the US in chip design
🔹 How geopolitical shocks like COVID and Ukraine revealed our supply chain fragility
🔹 What it takes to rebuild a complete, sovereign semiconductor value chain
🔹 Why timing and political will are critical to success
