Austria is part of a major new European initiative: the establishment of national chips competence centres in all EU member states supports the goals of the "EU Chips Act" to increase the production capacity for chips to 20% of the global market by 2030 and promotes Europe's technological sovereignty. Under the leadership of the Silicon Alps Cluster, the Austrian Chips Competence Center (AT-C³) was officially launched on 1 January 2025.

Under the leadership of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, the Foresight-on-Demand (FOD) consortium is advising the European Commission and fourteen other EU organisations on science and technology programming for a further period. The extension of the successful cooperation in the Foresight-on-Demand framework agreement enables the European Commission to promptly call up required future knowledge and build up anticipatory capacities in its own organisations. Knowledge is developed in participatory processes to orientate and underpin Europe's investment plans for science, research, technology and innovation. Results from previous Foresight-on-Demand projects supported, for example, the design of the EU Commission's "Horizon Europe 2nd Strategic plan 2025-2027".
