The CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are going to stimulate investment and may attract capital into the USA. Every company that is remotely connected to either the semi-conductor or green energy sectors has been looking for ways to take advantage of the billions of dollars of incentives and subsidies that have been made available. This is a good time for European companies to reconsider entering the US Market either directly or via a partnership with a US company.
