[forbes.cz] Malý čip, velká revoluce. Najde Česko své místo na globální mapě?

Sure, education. Transportation infrastructure. Artificial intelligence, too, no question about it. But what about adding something completely different to the list of national priorities–the semiconductor industry? If this seems like science fiction in a country struggling with sluggish growth and uninspired leadership, here’s some good news, at least on paper: since last October, the Czech Republic has its own National Semiconductor Strategy, approved by the government.

A new chapter in Europe’s semiconductor independence has begun in Brno with the launch of the Czech Semiconductor Centre (CSC). The centre, located in one of Europe’s strongest regions for chip design, will focus on supporting innovation, prototyping, and the growth of European fabless companies. As the Czech national competence centre under the European Chips Act, CSC aims to strengthen Europe’s semiconductor independence.
