Positioning an ERSFab in the Mediterranean Corridor isn't just a local project—it is our answer to the European challenge for semiconductor sovereignty. 🇪🇺

La proposta FabCat, que es presenta com el "full de ruta" per reforçar la resiliència industrial europea en semiconductors, situa l’Alt Empordà com a "node de fabricació" d’un futur hub industrial que inclouria una fàbrica de xips a l’entorn de Figueres, Vilamalla i el Far d’Empordà. Segons la informació facilitada pels promotors, l’emplaçament es tria per "una logística imbatible", amb connexió ferroviària d’ample estàndard cap al cor d’Europa i accés immediat al corredor de l’AP-7, amb l’objectiu d’evitar colls d’ampolla metropolitans.
🏛️ “The factory might be unreachable, but not fighting for industrial resilience is a resignation.”
This is the core message of FabCat Manifest 2.0. Too often, European industrial policy suffers from defeatism. We regulate markets we do not possess. We subsidise competitors because we fear the risk of building our own capacity.
On 19 Feb, we challenge this doctrine of “managed decline”. #EUChipsAct #StrategicAutonomy #IndustrialPolicy #FabCat
🛑 Europe is sleepwalking into a sovereignty trap.
Brussels obsesses over "leading-edge" (<2nm) nodes to compete with Taiwan. Meanwhile, our actual industries—Automotive, IoT, Defence—are starving for mature 22nm chips.

The IEEE's critique highlights the need for smart investment in dual-use tech. This is the core of our #ERSFabs proposal: a network of resilience fabs for mature-node semiconductors. It’s a direct path to building sovereign capabilities for both industrial and defence needs, ensuring strategic funds create real value.

The analysis in "Anatomía del esfuerzo español en defensa" underlines our core mission. It's not enough to invest; we must invest smartly. This is particularly true for dual-use technologies like semiconductors, which are vital for both industrial resilience and national security.
We advocate for targeted investments in sovereign capabilities.
