How do you create workplaces where technical talent want to stay and grow? This is the question at the heart of the European Chips Diversity Alliance second report, an EU co-funded consortium of 11 partners dedicated to developing a resilient and inclusive European semiconductor sector. At EudaOrg we are leading the research and after months of engagement with the sector, retention of technical talent is one of the most consistent challenges raised. The report will be published in September, with findings designed to help employers and policy stakeholders across Europe take action. If you are a technical professional in the sector, we are asking for 10 minutes of your time. Complete our anonymous survey and add your voice to the research.

What does it take to build a semiconductor workplace where people choose to stay and grow? ECDA has launched a new survey to better understand what supports and sustains technical talent across Europe. As the sector continues to grow, so does the opportunity to shape workplaces where people can develop long-term, meaningful careers. This survey will bring together the experiences of those working at the heart of the industry - from apprentices to seasoned professionals. 🕒 10–15 minutes 🔒 Anonymous 📅 Open until 8 May The insights gathered will feed directly into practical recommendations for industry and policymakers to help strengthen the European semiconductor ecosystem for the future.

The Performance Paradox: Great innovation today, gaps in talent tomorrow. Our research shows that 49% of organisations exceed expectations in innovation through diverse teams, yet only 22% say they are succeeding in building a strong future talent pipeline. This gap matters. It tells us that while diversity is already driving innovation today, the pathways into the sector are not keeping pace with future needs. Without intentional, inclusive talent development, today’s success becomes tomorrow’s risk. The challenge now is clear: turn innovation strength into sustainable workforce growth.

Executives are investing in DEI, but employees aren’t feeling it. Only 26% of early-career professionals say DEI is visible in their day-to-day experience. This visibility gap matters. Real inclusion doesn’t live in policies or slide decks — it lives in daily interactions, team habits, communication styles, and leadership behaviours. To make progress, organisations need to translate strategy into everyday practice.

We were in University College Dublin last week for International Day of Persons with Disabilities and the mix of voices in the room made it a standout event. There was honest discussion about assisted decision making, national policy priorities, and the practical work happening across campus to create quieter, calmer and more supportive spaces for students. Thank you to SMARTLabs for inviting us to showcase our AI Coaching tool among some incredible technologies from adaptive gaming to sensory support tools. We had great conversations with attendees about how coaching technology can support confidence, self advocacy and career development for neurodivergent people and others who are underserved by current support systems.

Honoured to be a finalist for the Tech Industry Alliance Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Award on Friday night alongside such inspiring organisations doing vital work. Huge congratulations to STEM Passport for Inclusion on their win! As a recent mentor with their programme, I couldn't be more delighted to see their impact recognised. At EudaOrg we are focused on practical ways to widen access to careers, from our AI Career Coach to our work with industry partners on equitable talent development. Being included in this category means a lot. Congratulations also to the other finalists. It is encouraging to be part of a community that is serious about building a more inclusive tech sector. #TIALeadersAwards

If the semiconductor sector wants a more diverse talent pool, the clearest ideas often come from the people already in it. At #SEMICONEuropa last week we asked professionals from the sector a simple question: from your perspective, what practical steps would make the biggest difference for diversity in the sector? Thank you to Victoria Cummings, Cormac O'Sullivan, Andra-Ioana Bornea, John Dillon, Laura Sondakh, John Blake, Kartikey Srivastava, Huiying Hu, and Mohammed Abubakker for taking a moment to share their views. Have a look and feel free to add your own thoughts in the comments. What practical steps do you think would make the biggest difference? European Chips Diversity Alliance

Reflections from #SEMICONEuropa 2025!

That is a wrap! #SEMICONEuropa 2025. Snow arrived on Day 4 which felt like a fitting end to a great week. The day was packed with more inspiring students who are genuinely excited about progressing their careers and finding their place in the sector. We also caught up with the European Chips Skills Academy student ambassadors which was a real highlight. Stay tuned next week, we will be sharing a few short interviews from the event. Time to recharge this weekend with some Bavarian specialities!
