ICOS organised its Final Event under the shape of a workshop “Results & Recommendations of International Cooperation on Semiconductor for European Economic Resilience” on February 3rd, 2026 as a side event of the ECS Brokerage. The workshop presented the missions of ICOS to identify the needs and opportunities for international cooperation in a changing world ecosystem. International cooperation was introduced as key for speeding up technological innovation, reducing cost by avoiding duplicated research, strengthening complex semiconductor value chains, knowledge exchange, manage risks due to the turbulent geopolitical context, overcoming gaps in standardisation and skill shortage, and is encouraged by the new strategies of leading semiconductor countries and is one of the objectives of the EU Chips Act.
