Plain-language summary

Support creation of a secure digital twin platform for EU semiconductor supply chain resilience and risk management.

This call funds a project to build a secure data platform representing the EU semiconductor supply chain. It will gather anonymized data from companies, map supply chain capabilities, and conduct risk analysis. The platform will provide early warnings to help prevent crises in the semiconductor sector.

Likely relevant for

  • Semiconductor industry stakeholders
  • Data platform developers
  • Supply chain risk analysts
  • Research organizations in electronics and digital technologies
  • Policy and crisis management experts

Project signals

Focus on semiconductor supply chain digital twinData anonymization and secure data handlingSupply chain mapping and risk assessmentEarly warning systems for supply chain crises

What it funds

  • Development of a secure, anonymized data platform as a digital twin of the semiconductor supply chain
  • Data gathering from upstream and downstream companies
  • Use or integration of existing digital references based on semantic web technologies
  • Management by a trusted intermediary on secure infrastructure, possibly using Multi-Party Computation
  • Global mapping of semiconductor value chain capabilities and products
  • Conducting stress tests and risk analysis of the EU semiconductor supply chain
  • Issuing early warnings and recommendations to the Commission and Member States

Expected outcomes

  • A functional supply chain data platform providing access to company-specific and aggregate anonymized data
  • Comprehensive mapping of semiconductor value chain and supply chain relationships
  • Risk analysis reports and stress test results
  • Early warning system to prevent semiconductor supply chain crises

Topic description

Expected Outcome: The action should establish a supply chain data platform, as a digital twin of the semiconductor supply chain, which should: • Gather secure, anonymized data shared by companies, coming from both upstream and downstream industries. • Possibly make use of an existing digital reference14 of the semiconductor supply chain (based on semantic web technologies). • Be managed by a trusted intermediary and hosted on a trusted data sharing infrastructure (potentially leveraging secure Multi-Party Computation). • Provide access to each participating company (providing its data) to its own data and aggregate anonymised data. The action should support the data gathering from the companies involved. The action should support a global mapping of the semiconductor value chain, as regards to the capabilities and the products of each main company and its supply chain relationships. The action should also support conducting stress tests of the supply chain and develop risk analysis of the EU semiconductor supply chain. Finally, the action needs to support issuing early warnings and recommendations for proactive measures to the Commission and Member States to avoid any potential crisis activation according to Article 23 of the Chips Act.
