Magdeburg, Deutschland - The European chip industry is facing a crucial turn! As the industry associations ESIA and SEMI Europe announced, manufacturers and suppliers call for additional state support that should not only focus on the production of semiconductors.

The planned AI giga ABrikes should be specially equipped for training the most complex AI models, whereby they can come up with the latest technology. This represents enormous progress and could significantly increase the competitiveness of Europe on the global market. The Investai fund is considered part of one of the most extensive public-private partnerships in the history of Europe for trustworthy AI.
