SPARKS Meeting, Bruxelles
Share

The Industrial Alliance on Processors and Semiconductor Technologies is bringing its members and participants together for the first physical workshop in Brussels. The event is restriced to Alliance members and participants only and will serve as a strategic platform to advance Europe’s semiconductor industry by fostering collaboration within the three key Working Groups.

During the event Alliance members will have the opportunity to align on key priorities and develop concrete strategies to strenghten Europe’s semiconductor industry as well as exchange insights and expertise within focused Working Groups.

Date and location

  • 06/05/2025 from 9:00 to 18:00 (with a networking cocktail 18:00 to 19:00)
  • SPARKS Meeting, Rue Ravenstein 60, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium

Purpose and structure

The workshop will be structured into two main parts:

  • Morning sessions will be featuring keynote presentations and panel discussions from industry leaders and policymakers, providing strategic insights into the latest developments and progress in the Working Groups and at European level.
  • Afternoon sessions will be reserved to collaborative workshops where Alliance members will engage in hands-on discussions, define next steps, and contribute to shaping the future of their respective working groups.

The agenda is currently under development and will be shared soon. Stay tuned for updates on speakers and session details.
