Macron France says he wants to make an advanced countryside

On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron made a stadium for his country to manufacture the most advanced chips in the world, in an attempt to put itself as a basic technical center in Europe.

Comments come as European technology companies and countries restore their dependence on foreign technology companies for critical technology and infrastructure.

The chips industry has been established in particular as a topic yet Nafidia On Wednesday, CEO Jensen Huang said that the company’s first GPU was manufactured in France by SGS Thomson Microelectronics, now known as Estmicroelectronics.

However, Stmiicroelectronics is not currently in the leading edge of semiconductor manufacturing. Most of the chips are dedicated to industries such as automotive One, which do not require semiconductor semiconductors.

However, Macron put his ambition for France to be able to manufacture semiconductors in the range of 2 nm to 10 nm.

“If we want to unify our industry, we must now get more and more chips on the right scale,” Macron said on Wednesday.

The smaller the nanometer number, the greater the number of transistors that can match the chip, which leads to more powerful semiconductors. For example, Apple’s latest iPhone chips depend on 3 nm technology.

Few companies are able to manufacture chips at this level and widely, with Samsung and Nvidia Taiwan SemiDuctor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) that leads the package.

If France wants to produce these advanced chips, it is likely that you need TSMC or Samsung to build a locally-something happens in the United States TSMC has now committed billions of dollars To build more factories in the United States.

Macron described a deal between Thales, Radiall and Foxconn from Taiwan, which explores the preparation and testing of semiconductor in France.

“I want to persuade them to make manufacturing in France,” Macron said during Viveatech – one of the largest technical events in France. A large number of deals to build more artificial intelligence infrastructure in Europe.

One of the main partnerships announced by HUANG is between Nvidia and French Ai Model Mistral to build the so -called “Cloud AI”.

France looked at building the infrastructure of Amnesty International, and Macron said in February that the country’s artificial intelligence sector will receive 109 billion euros (125.6 billion dollars) in private investments in the coming years. Macron described the NVIDIA and Mistral deal as an extension to build artificial intelligence in France.

“We are applying them (investments) and we are accelerating. What did AI and Nvidia announce this morning is also a change of games,” Macron told CNBC on Wednesday.
