In a recent episode of Studio Energie, RESiLICON founder Gosse Boxhoorn and CEO Remco Rijn discuss what European strategic autonomy means in practice, and why it starts with strengthening upstream materials.

The conversation focuses on the role of ultra-pure polysilicon as a critical input for solar PV, semiconductors and battery technologies, and the implications of Europe’s current reliance on imports.

RESiLICON’s planned ultra-pure polysilicon production in the Netherlands will strengthen European value chains and reduce strategic dependencies.

The episode also explores the conditions needed to enable long-term industrial investment, including policy certainty, competitiveness and innovation.
