Amsterdam – The Dutch government has moved quickly to back Nexperia, a key chipmaker that traces its roots to Chinese investors.
Nexperia, which supplies millions of tiny electronic parts worldwide, is one of the largest names in the global semiconductor supply chain. Its products power everything from smartphones to cars, making the company a strategic partner for Europe’s technology sector.
The Dutch authorities announced new measures to protect the firm’s operations in the Netherlands. These steps include faster regulatory reviews, support for local production investments and easier access to financing. “We want Nexperia to continue growing in the Netherlands and to stay at the forefront of the semiconductor industry,” said a government spokesperson.
Why it matters: The semiconductor industry has become a national security priority for many governments, and countries are looking to secure reliable supply chains. The Dutch government’s intervention signals confidence in Nexperia’s role in the European market and underlines the country’s commitment to maintaining a robust tech ecosystem.
Industry experts say the move should help Nexperia scale production and support the broader European push to reduce reliance on distant suppliers. It also demonstrates how European governments are partnering with key players to boost innovation and resilience in critical sectors.
The decision comes amid heightened scrutiny of trade ties between Europe and China. By giving Nexperia a stronger footing in the Netherlands, the government affirms that it can balance openness to global investment with strategic oversight. This step should help keep the Dutch and wider European semiconductor supply chain competitive and secure.
