TAIPEI -- STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries plan to build a "multibillion euro" advanced chip facility in France, as Europe races to increase chip production following the passage of the European Chips Act earlier this year.
The two companies announced on Monday they had signed a memorandum of understanding for the project, the latest sign that Europe is accelerating its drive to bring more chip production onshore, even as the U.S. struggles to fund its own support package for the domestic semiconductor industry.
