EU Approves €920 Million Subsidy for Infineon Chip Factory in Dresden
The funding will support a €5 billion project aimed at bolstering Europe's semiconductor production and technological autonomy.
- The European Commission has approved Germany's €920 million subsidy to support Infineon's new chip manufacturing facility in Dresden.
- The project is part of a €5 billion investment by Infineon, marking the largest in the company's history, with the factory set to open in 2026.
- The facility will enhance Europe's semiconductor production capacity, strengthening supply chain resilience and reducing reliance on Asian markets.
- The new factory will focus on producing semiconductors for applications in the automotive industry and renewable energy sectors, supporting decarbonization and digitalization efforts.
- This initiative aligns with the EU's broader goal of increasing domestic chip production under the EU Chips Act to secure technological independence.
