Will France launch its €550 million semi‑conductor “France 2030” call for projects by July 31 2026?

Why: The supplied evidence shows the government committed €550 million for semiconductors under France 2030 and then issued the related call. The Direction générale des Entreprises (enterprises.gouv.fr) announced on 2026-05-22 that the government would launch a France 2030 appel à projets “doté de 550 millions d'euros” for the PIIEC/‘Semi‑conducteurs 2035’ effort. Bpifrance’s press release dated 2026-07-16 confirms the appel à projets was launched (open until 01‑09‑2026). Reuters and other independent outlets reported President Macron’s €550m commitment on 2026-05-22. Together these sources corroborate that by 31 July 2026 the French government had issued the France 2030 call for projects tied to the €550m semiconductor allocation.
