TNO Semicon Event 2026

On 15 April 2026, TNO is organising the TNO Semicon Event 2026. In 2026, the semiconductor industry faces ever-greater challenges. Demand for computing power is growing at an unprecedented rate, fuelled by AI applications, edge computing and the search for sustainable materials and processes. At the same time, geopolitical tensions, a shortage of raw materials and the drive for energy efficiency are prompting the sector to collaborate actively, often with new international partners. Realising the next generation of chip technology requires strong ties between countries, research institutions and companies. In this rapidly changing landscape, TNO invites you to take part in the Semicon event themed ‘Building Bridges to Reach Moore’.

TNO aims to stimulate technological progress and foster collaboration within international semiconductor ecosystems. It seeks to bring together companies, start-ups, innovators and policymakers to share knowledge, engage in discussions and drive the industry forward. The TNO Semicon Event 2026 contributes to this.

For whom

Decision-makers, innovators and experts from industry, research institutions and government who are working on the future of the semiconductor sector and international cooperation within it.
