Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the current functioning of the Chips Act and on possible future adaptations to ensure the Act remains fit for purpose in light of changing market, technological and geopolitical realities.
The feedback period will be from 5 September 2025, for a period of 12 weeks, with the public consultation and call for evidence published on the Commission’s Have Your Say public consultations portal.
The public consultation and call for evidence form an essential part of the evaluation of the Chips Act in line with the Commission’s Better Regulation principles. It aims to ensure that the legislation is effective, efficient, relevant, coherent, and brings clear EU added value.
At the same time, the public consultation and call for evidence look forward: it asks stakeholders to share views on how the Chips Act could be adapted to support Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem in the years ahead, including through simplification where appropriate.
Broad participation encouraged
The Commission seeks input from all interested parties, including
- Industry stakeholders across the semiconductor value chain (IDMs, fabless companies, design houses, equipment manufacturers, suppliers);
- Industrial users of semiconductors in sectors such as automotive, telecom, healthcare, energy, industrial robotics and manufacturing, defence, and security;
- National competent authorities, including semiconductor-relevant authorities;
- EU bodies such as the Chips Joint Undertaking, EISMEA, EIB, and EIF;
- Start-ups, SMEs, and scale-ups;
- Research and Technology Organisations, academia, and scientific associations;
- Trade and industry associations;
- Investors, including venture capital and private equity;
- NGOs, think tanks, and other civil society organisations;
- Independent experts and consultants.
In line with the Commission’s Better Regulation approach, the Commission particularly welcomes scientific evidence and research contributions (including quantitative analysis and data if available) that can strengthen the evidence base for the evaluation and review.
Next steps
The feedback received will support the Commission in preparing the evaluation report of the Chips Act and in identifying potential adjustments to ensure the framework remains effective in supporting Europe’s semiconductor ambitions.
The public consultation and call for evidence are available on the Commission’s Have Your Say public consultations portal.
