The European Chips Act was created with a clear goal: to reduce Europe's dependency on non-EU suppliers in the semiconductor sector and strengthen the continent's technological sovereignty. An ambitious plan that aims not only at production capacity but also at the strategic resilience of the European electronic supply chain.

♻️ The Hidden Value of Regeneration

However, there is a less discussed — yet equally crucial — aspect regarding the lifespan of already existing electronic components.
In a context of growing scarcity of raw materials and rising logistics costs, regeneration is no longer just a sustainable choice: it is a strategic industrial lever.

Regeneration means:

• giving new life to industrial electronic boards and modules,

• extending the operational lifecycle of equipment,

• keeping know-how, skills, and technical data in Europe, avoiding their dispersion along fragile and costly global supply chains.

🔁 Technological Autonomy and Circular Resilience

If the Chips Act speaks of technological autonomy, industrial electronic regeneration speaks of circular resilience.
Two complementary dimensions of the same strategy: building a more independent, sustainable industry focused on production continuity.

Every certified regeneration process reduces electronic waste, limits CO₂ emissions, and strengthens Europe's internal production capacity.
In other words: less waste, less imports, more local value.

🌍 The Challenge of the Coming Years

The real challenge will not just be producing new chips, but managing the ones we already have in an intelligent and sustainable way.
This means adopting industrial policies and incentives that value regeneration processes, advanced maintenance, and servitization according to circular economy principles.
