What is Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU)?
The Chips Joint Undertaking is the EU partnership focused on strengthening Europe’s semiconductor and electronic components ecosystem. It supports collaborative research, innovation, pilot lines, manufacturing capacity, and ecosystem cooperation across the semiconductor value chain.For organisations active in semiconductors, advanced electronics, manufacturing technologies, materials, equipment, and systems integration, Chips JU provides a strategic route for cross-border collaboration and participation in high-value European innovation projects.
Nexuswelt supports organisations that want to participate in Chips JU more strategically through consortium positioning, proposal support, partner search, stakeholder relevance, and impact-oriented project positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chips JU is relevant for semiconductor companies, electronics and deep-tech SMEs, research organisations, universities, RTOs, manufacturing technology actors, and other organisations active across the semiconductor value chain.
Chips JU is more specifically focused on semiconductors, electronic components, systems integration, pilot lines, and Europe’s chip ecosystem, while Horizon Europe covers a much broader range of research and innovation topics across multiple thematic areas.
Yes. Chips JU can be highly relevant for SMEs developing semiconductor-related technologies, components, manufacturing solutions, equipment, materials, or specialised applications that strengthen Europe’s electronics ecosystem.
Nexuswelt supports Chips JU participation through call-fit review, consortium positioning, partner search, proposal support, contribution logic, stakeholder relevance, and strategic advice on how to position an organisation credibly within a Chips JU consortium.
That depends on your technology focus, industry relevance, consortium fit, and the nature of the call. Chips JU is often more relevant for semiconductor-specific innovation, while Horizon Europe may be a better route for broader research or cross-sector project themes.
