Japan and EU Semiconductors: Mutual Innovation & Excellence

Project description

Strengthening semiconductor collaboration between the EU and Japan

The EU is developing a strategic partnership with Japan in order to navigate the increasingly competitive environment for semiconductor sovereignty. In line with the European Chips Act, the EU-sponsored JASMINE project seeks to improve the robustness and competitiveness of the microelectronics sector in Europe. In particular, it will map international value chains and set priorities for joint research, drawing on Japan’s strengths in materials science and fabrication technologies. In addition to advancing technological knowledge, JASMINE will invest in building human capital through internships and career days, alongside promoting sustainable manufacturing practices. Ultimately, JASMINE paves the way for the EU to achieve a 20 % market share by 2030.

Objective

JASMINE (Japan and EU Semiconductors: Mutual Innovation & Excellence) is a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action (CSA) designed to strengthen strategic cooperation between the European Union and Japan in the semiconductor sector. In alignment with the European Chips Act, the project aims to enhance the resilience, sustainability, and competitiveness of the EU semiconductor ecosystem by leveraging Japan’s complementary strengths in materials science, manufacturing equipment, and advanced packaging.
Over an 18-month period, JASMINE will conduct a comprehensive mapping of semiconductor value chains, identify joint research and innovation (R&I) priorities, and propose coordinated investment and regulatory strategies. The project will also foster talent development through staff exchange programs, job fairs, and academic-industry collaborations, while promoting alignment in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies to support sustainable semiconductor manufacturing.
By facilitating bilateral and multilateral partnerships, JASMINE seeks to deliver strategic recommendations and a roadmap for future EU-Japan collaboration, contributing to Europe’s goal of increasing its global semiconductor market share to 20% by 2030. The initiative brings together major leading institutions and companies across Europe and Japan, creating a robust framework for innovation, policy alignment, and long-term industrial cooperation.
