The third article in *The Age of Light — Rethinking Intelligence* explores why moving data, rather than processing it, may become one of computing’s greatest challenges—and how light could offer new possibilities.
ESMC is preparing its Dresden factory for machine installation in 2027. Can the planned investment of more than €10 billion deliver reliable chips at a competitive cost—and give smaller European customers access to production?
CEA-Leti and ISRL have launched SubFAB Labs to study what chip manufacturing releases into exhaust gases and wastewater. The Grenoble pilot line will help suppliers test sensors and treatment systems under conditions that resemble industrial production.
Europe’s scale-up financing announcement combines around €2 billion in fund commitments with more than €8 billion in investment intentions. The test is whether European fund managers can lead the large equity rounds that technology companies need to expand.
