Nordic Chip Second Meet-up

Following the success of our inaugural event in Helsinki 2024, the Nordic Chip Collaboration is excited to host its second in-person meetup – this time in Lund, Sweden. As the chip industry continues to evolve rapidly, touching everything from materials and manufacturing to advanced semiconductors and sensor design, collaboration across the Nordics has never been more important.

Join us in the epicenter of semiconductors for two days of insightful discussions, hands-on networking, and community building within the Nordic chip ecosystem. Program details and speaker updates will be shared here continuously – stay tuned!
