France’s Électronique 2030 program commits €5B+ to revitalize its semiconductor industry. Learn the details of this ambitious effort, and the market challenges it’s facing.

The central government in Paris is deploying billions to anchor next-generation chip manufacturing on French soil. The moves stretch across a broad spectrum, from the Grenoble megafab to silicon photonics and power electronics—but ambitious plans are already meeting market headwinds.
France's most consequential recent act of semiconductor industrial policy is the Électronique 2030 program, launched by President Emmanuel Macron in July 2022 during a visit to STMicroelectronics' fabrication site in Crolles, Isère. The program sits within the broader France 2030 investment plan—a €54 billion, ten-sector strategy for industrial reinvention—and commits more than €5 billion in direct state support to the electronics value chain through 2030. That public anchor is designed to catalyze total investment of some €16 billion, with the creation of an estimated 5,700 direct jobs.
