Vulnerability exposed during the crisis

The pandemic was a wake-up call for the entire electronics industry, where vulnerabilities in the supply chain became painfully clear.

As Elisabet Österlund, CEO of Svensk Elektronik, emphasizes: we must act to strengthen Europe's semiconductor manufacturing. With the geopolitical situation, war in Ukraine and tensions in Asia, secure supply is the top priority.

The EU has already taken great steps with the ”European Chips Act”, but for Sweden to fully benefit from this, increased support from the state is needed. We cannot rely on emergency stocks—the future requires innovation and collaboration.
