The global coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the digitalization process. At the same time, Covid-19 containment measures have also led to a global slowdown in chip production and delivery. The resulting semiconductor shortages have created bottlenecks in industries worldwide.</p><p class="align--justify">Germany is the beating heart of the European semiconductor industry, ranking among the world’s top semiconductor production locations. The country boasts an unparalleled density of world-leading device manufacturers and suppliers for materials, components, and equipment across the entire value chain.
