The move follows the successful launch of the ESCO Report in June 2013, which highlighted the current value and importance of electronic systems to the UK economy.
A new industry council is also being set up to drive forward the goals set out in the report.
The ESCO Council will be co-chaired by former ARM chief Warren East and Michael Fallon, Minister of State for Business and Energy.
According to a statement, the ESCO Executive and the ESCO Council are already working together to implement the recommendations in the ESCO Report, including business and technology strategy, skills and supply chain development.
