    Building Resilience: Digitalizing Europe’s Semiconductor Value Chain

    Our project aims to make the European semiconductor industry sustainable and resilient through comprehensive digitalization and the establishment of traceability. Together with our partners, we are developing new data-driven business models and encouraging innovation along the entire value chain. This will entail

    Developing digital twins for the semiconductor industry, which digitally model the supply and value chain and enable sovereign and secure data exchange, including their connectivity to other value partners.

    Enabling efficient, sustainable and resilient semiconductor operations through industry-wide digitalization and dataspaces for improved value chain traceability.

    Enhancing deep digitalization capabilities among value chain partners, especially small and medium businesses (SMBs).

    Developing new data-driven business models and encouraging innovation.

    Enabling deep interoperability and AI applications by digitalizing every asset and entity in the semiconductor value chain.

    Ensuring the availability of semiconductors to key European technologies and industries.

    Horizontal. Vertical. Continuous: Industry-specific implementation clusters

    Semiconductor-X is a Manufacturing-X project focused on the semiconductor industry

    Semiconductor-X aims to adapt Gaia-X/Catena-X dataspace architecture to the semiconductor industry and to develop advanced digital twins that digitally model critical planning segments of the semiconductor supply and value chain. The project will also integrate established industry standards into this new dataspace architecture.
