摘要

Semiconductors underpin economic growth, technological innovation, and geopolitical stability. Recent global disruptions, including the Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, have amplified attention toward semiconductor ecosystems. While initiatives such as the US Chips Act and European Chips Act have directed significant investment into semiconductor capabilities, the Greek semiconductor sector remains largely unexplored. This paper, by raising this realization, proposes an actionable research agenda to identify, map and analyze Greece’s semiconductor ecosystem through scientometric, technometric, and industrial methods. Its objective is to determine key dimensions necessary for effectively integrating Greece into global semiconductor value chains. The suggested methodology involves a three-level approach: measuring scientific outputs and R&D involvement using bibliometric analyses; analyzing technological outputs, particularly patents, via technometric analysis; and situating the domestic ecosystem within the global industrial landscape by identifying domestic firms and their niche specializations. This will allow for the identification of potential strengths (e.g., design) and gaps (e.g., manufacturing), informing Greek integration into global value chains. By addressing these gaps and leveraging the Greek scientific and entrepreneurial diaspora, the country can inform targeted policy interventions, fostering technological specialization and innovation, and strengthening Greece’s role in the international semiconductor landscape.
