Anyone who has spent time in the PCB industry knows the frustration: electronics policy discussions often begin and end with semiconductors. Yet chips don't function in a vacuum, and increasingly, policymakers are beginning to recognize that reality. In what many consider a landmark moment for the European electronics ecosystem, the proposed CHIPS Act 2.0 broadens its scope to include electronics manufacturing and explicitly identifies printed circuit boards as a strategic technology. I caught up with Alison James to talk about the significance of this milestone, the years of advocacy behind it, and what comes next as the legislation moves through the European Union's complex approval process.

Curious people almost always outperform know-it-alls. Why? Because curious people keep learning. The world changes far too quickly for anybody to stop learning. Especially now.
