How will the European Commission, Member States, and Industry coordinate their efforts and initiatives to fully implement the recommendations of the KET High Level Group? This year‘s SEMI Brussels Forum is timed when the EU is working on several integrated and pertinent initiatives, namely: Preparing for our future: Developing a common strategy for key enabling technologies in the EU Europe 2020 Flagship: Innovation Union Europe 2020 Flagship: An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era - Putting Competitiveness and Sustainability at Centre Stage Through a series of keynotes and panel discussions, industry leaders and EU representatives will discuss practical recommendations on some of Europe‘s Key Enabling Technologies, in particular to address the needs of the European semiconductor industry.
