"… no Member State big enough to compete

along the whole industrial value chain…"

"Imagine if we built a whole electronics

ecosystem right here. Building on the

leading technology institutes, and our

world-class equipment and materials

industry."

"Shouldn't we be looking for an 'Airbus

of Chips'?"

"But the Commission can't bring this

about on its own. We can take the lead

and start the talks – but we need others

to commit, too."

"Airbus of Chips"?

Speech by Neelie Kroes, 24 May 2012, imec conference, Brussels, available at http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-12-382_en.htm

"[T]he companies and

billion € up to the

year 2020"
