Our Four Summit Themes
Build: Materials, Manufacturing & Devices (Hosted: NMI)
From novel materials to advanced packaging, this session examines how innovation across the semiconductor value chain is enabling the next generation of technologies and devices. We will explore materials science, equipment development, process engineering, packaging, and test to share how foundational advances are unlocking new capabilities.
As traditional scaling reaches its limits, the industry is turning to heterogeneous integration, new materials, and smarter manufacturing. AI-driven design and process optimisation, next-generation fabrication tools, and advanced packaging techniques are accelerating development, and we will also look to the future possibilities which this enables.
Create: Systems, Integration & Verification (Hosted: AESIN & DESN)
Complex Cyber-Physical Systems demand robust and functionally safe end-to-end system engineering. This session will explore digital, mixed signal design and software-defined systems, software factory and related design tools, edge-AI, automated decision-driven sensing, cyber resilience, smart power and energy systems and precise positioning, navigation, and timing.
Secure: Cyber Resilience, Trust & Quantum Safety (Hosted: IoTSF)
In an increasingly connected and AI-driven world, identity, security and trust are critical system requirements. This session examines the interplay between technology innovation in both threat and mitigation, together with increasing international regulation. We also consider the role of AI and quantum as these technologies change the very nature of trust, identity and security.
Scale: Investment, Commercialisation & Global Growth (Hosted: UKSC)
Turning innovation into impact requires the right ecosystem. This session brings together perspectives on investment, scaling UK-based innovation, and building resilient international partnerships and supply chains. It also highlights how academic breakthroughs are translated into commercial success, and how we equip the next-generation workforce to sustain growth.
