Infineon to Open €5 Billion Dresden Chip Fab on July 2 as EU Backs €1 Billion

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 12

July 2 is the opening date for Infineon’s new Dresden power-chip plant, the company’s largest single investment at €5 billion.
About €1 billion in EU Chips Act subsidies helped fund the fab, making it one of the bloc program’s biggest backed projects.
The plant extends Infineon’s existing Dresden campus and adds capacity in power semiconductors, a segment central to industrial and automotive demand.
The opening advances the EU’s sovereignty push as Brussels uses subsidies to lift domestic chip production and reduce reliance on external suppliers.
