Faced with an increasingly unstable geopolitical and economic environment, industrial policy has been inserted as a core component in the agendas of the world’s largest three economies – the United States (US), China, and the European Union (EU). These strategies and regulations on renewable and low-carbon energy technologies, raw materials and technologies of the future are likely to result in profound implications on the global supply and value chains while reshaping industries especially high-tech sector such as semiconductors.

What is the global geopolitical and trade outlook look like amid this global industrial strategy race? What are the implications of the varying policy measures on the strategies of multinational companies? As the world is seemingly moving away from globalisation, how will the elevation of industrial strategies impact the liberalisation of global trade?

In face of above and other questions, the European Chamber will launch a series event – Battling it out - Decoding the Global Industrial Strategy Race – to bring members a comprehensive understanding on the industrial strategies adopted by the world’s top three super powers and their implications on both state and industry players.

The first episode will focus on chips regulations and their implications on the semiconductor eco-system.
