Building Bridges to Reach Moore

In 2026, the semiconductor industry faces mounting challenges. Demand for computing power is accelerating like never before, fueled by AI applications, edge computing, and the pursuit of sustainable materials and processes. At the same time, geopolitical tensions, resource scarcity, and the drive for energy efficiency are prompting the sector to actively engage in collaborations, often with new international partners.

Achieving the next generation of chip technology demands strong connections between countries, research institutes, and companies. In this rapidly evolving landscape, we invite you to join us at the TNO Semicon Event 2026: ‘Building Bridges to Reach Moore’.
