Strengthening Europe’s Compass in the 

Perfect Storm

In a world undergoing rapid transformation, geopolitical forces are reshaping the dynamics of global markets, technological development, supply chains, and long-term strategic planning. These shifts present both profound challenges and unprecedented opportunities for regions prepared to act with vision and resilience.  

Against this backdrop, the SEMI Europe Policy Forum Brussels 2026, themed Strengthening Europe’s Compass in the Perfect Storm, will take place on June 3, 2026, bringing industry leaders, economists, policymakers, and technology experts to examine how geopolitical dynamics are transforming the global semiconductor landscape and to identify concrete pathways for reinforcing Europe’s role within it.  

Hosted by SEMI Europe, the forum will explore how Europe can cultivate a unified, competitive, and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem while safeguarding its technological sovereignty in an increasingly fragmented world. Discussions will highlight the need for deeper innovation, greater supply chain resilience, and long-term economic strength to ensure Europe remains a driving force in the next era of semiconductor leadership.
