Ireland’s newly launched “Silicon Island” strategy isn’t just another semiconductor play. It’s a direct call to action for leaders in manufacturing. With an ambitious roadmap focused on analog and mixed-signal innovation, the plan sets out to build fabs, scale R&D, and drive workforce growth — all while reinforcing EU supply chain resilience.

By investing in foundries, advanced packaging, and targeted talent pipelines, Ireland is creating the infrastructure and ecosystem Europe needs to lead in analog technologies. For manufacturers, that means closer-to-home capacity, faster design-to-production cycles, and new opportunities to partner or scale. It also strengthens Europe’s hand in strategic autonomy — a priority that’s no longer optional.

This is more than industrial policy. It’s a long-game bet on analog as a growth engine.
