Members of the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) in Microelectronics and Communication Technologies have gathered over two days of technical insights, networking, live demonstration, pitching opportunities, and strategic discussions. The community active in the implementation of this IPCEI came from across Europe for a high-level forum designed to shape the future of microelectronics and connectivity.

On 26-27 November 2025, about halfway for many companies’ activity, the European Commission, national authorities, participating companies, high level guests and speakers, lived up thematic workshops aligned with the four technical IPCEI’s pillars (Sense, Act, Think, and Communicate). They drove in-depth sessions on strategic semiconductor technologies such as AI, quantum, photonics, and discussed business in a changing and challenging geopolitical and economic context.

This year’s Annual Forum proposed a new General Assembly format which combined closed sessions for direct participants to this IPCEI on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies, together with networking meetings, running in parallel, open to all participants across this IPCEI ecosystem. This allowed to associate indirect partners to contribute and connect according to their role within the initiative. A key benefit in the use of this IPCEI instrument is to bring research results up to industrial maturity and to foster their first industrial deployment.
