Membership
ESIA represents the semiconductor manufacturing companies, both large and small, operating in Europe - either directly or through the membership of national associations. Industry needs are rapidly and effectively addressed through direct company involvement, while the active participation of national associations also mirrors the structure and importance of EU Member States. Through this mixed membership model the semiconductor industry speaks with one voice in Europe.
Our ESIA membership provides great added value for NXP. As one of Europe’s leading semiconductor companies, ESIA is central to our interactions with the EU policy makers. Through ESIA and other similar partners, we are effectively addressing industry issues globally in many fields ranging from the environment to international trade.
